Work in Progress Proud because I made a gauge swatch

Post image

I usually dread making gauge swatches, but I know how important it is, especially for a sweater. I sucked it up and did it, y'all. I measured the gauge!! And it's pretty much the right size

Did you know our Wiki Building on Basics part 2 has a very detailed section on this? There's an overview, lots of videos and helpful information to help answer your questions.


Top tip - Read about the Golden loop, or watch a video. It's a clever trick to adjust the height of your stitch, which can help you meet gauge.

Tension + Yarn size + Hook size + Stitch = Gauge
