It is highly recommended to knit a swatch of 15 stitches and about 15 cm in height to check this. The gauge is measured in length and height. It may seem unnecessary or perhaps boring to start with this, but the effort you put in here will ensure that you end up with a garment you can actually use. Feel free to use the test swatch to check your wool wash program for the washing machine before you wash the actual garment. Remember to measure it first before washing, so you can see any changes.😊

Tips before you start 😊 Please read through the entire recipe before you begin. There are tips and links to simple video knitting instructions in the text. Feel free to measure the garment along the way, based on the measurements in the recipe, and adjust according to your own preferences.
