Get Gauge for Real: The Secrets of Swatching Knits that Fit

Lisa Toppin

We’ve all made the four-inch swatch, pumped our fists, and declared, “I got gauge!” only to have the finished object come out too big or too small. The secret to getting the right size is in the way you swatch.

In this class, learn how to make a swatch, how to measure accurately, finally I’ll show you how to do the math that will get you to knitting garments that fit every time.

YOUR FREE GIFT

I'm offering an "All about the Swatch Worksheet" (AATS) that gives participants a place to document the information they need from their swatches. After the garment is completed, the AATS will serve as a useful reminder of the care instructions for the project.

Get Gauge for Real: The Secrets of Swatching Knits that Fit

I became a self taught knitter in 2008. As the first knitter in a crochet family, I was considered a bit of a knit sheep. I’ve been clicking along happily for more than a decade. Now, I share what I've learned in my fiber journey as a teacher, YouTuber, and blogger.
