The field guides
- Guide 01
How do you measure knitting gauge after blocking?
Count the stitches inside a relaxed swatch and see how half a stitch changes a finished sweater measurement.
- Guide 02
How many stitches should you cast on for a patterned scarf?
Choose between two valid cast-ons when the width you want falls between stitch repeats. Includes an example with separate borders.
- Guide 03
How do you turn row gauge into inches of knitting?
Translate between rows and length, compare a pattern with your own row gauge, and keep a stripe sequence intact.
