Behind every great PATTERN is a good GAUGE. đź§¶ And she will save you HOURS. Do you swatch?
That tiny square might not be the most exciting part of your project, but it can save you from hours of knitting, frogging and wondering where it all went wrong.
Your gauge is what makes sure your yarn, needles and tension are actually going to give you the size and fit the pattern intended.
So before you dive into the fun part, take the time to check it. Because a few minutes spent swatching now can save you a whole lot of knitting later.
Small square. Big job. Huge time saver.
Be honest… do you always swatch, or do you sometimes just cast on and hope for the best? 👀🧶
