Check Your GaugeWant to ensure your finished project turns out just right? Take a few moments to check your stitch size against the recommended gauge -- doing so makes all the difference!

To check your gauge (stitch size), follow the designer’s instructions to make a swatch with the stitch pattern. Keep in mind that if you choose not to check your stitch size, you may need to purchase more yarn to complete your project (which may also be different dimensions than the specified pattern size)!
