Скачать или смотреть Make a swatch

It may seem annoying to make a swatch before you start your project but if you are making something that you want to be sure to fit then you really gotta swatch. Some people will knit a swatch then wash it and block it to make extra sure of yer gauge. Some people knit a swatch, get some measurements and then rip it out and start knitting. The choice is yours. Just know that sometimes a swatch will lie. Blocked or not.

Your gauge changes if you knit while drinking a glass of wine, watching a scary movie or many other situations. But as you become more comfortable with your knitting your gauge will stabilize, you’ll get to know how certain yarns work (especially if you use the same yarns over and over). When encountering new yarns (or needles) it is a good idea to swatch.
