Why Swatch?

I know, I know. "Swatching. Ugh."

But let me deal you a hard truth--like it or not, swatching is essential for a great-fitting garment. 

Why is that? Because knitting patterns, at their heart, are a numbers game--from bust circumference to armhole depth to heel flap length, every part of a knitting pattern is based on numbers. Numbers don't lie. (Want concrete examples? Click here.)

So if you want your garment to fit like it's supposed to, your gauge needs to match the designer's. Swatching is the key that unlocks a great fitting sweater or pair of socks!
