For those who know more about vintage stuff than I do...

I'm working on a knitted set of cami-knickers from a 1937 pattern. The gusset is supposed to close with snaps (press fasteners), but the pattern doesn't say anything about what size snaps to use. An admittedly brief online search didn't turn anything up. So what size snaps are appropriate? Or do I just choose based on strength - that which is strong enough to stay closed but weak enough to open easily must be right?

I've only got about thirty rows left so I guess I ought to start thinking about the finishing-up bits.

Thanks.
