To my fellow newbies… please learn the point of a gauge swatch
I’m currently undertaking my first wearable project and just jumped in with the petite knit Monday sweater. It’s a fairly straightforward pattern but I went into it not really understanding the purpose of a gauge swatch…
Stupid me went into it with a “she’ll be right attitude” not realising that my swatch being 8.5cm would actually be a problem. See images for the difference after sizing up my needles…
Suffice to say I have learned my lesson after having to frog an entire sweater of mohair + merino :)
