About Crocheted Swatches

Beginners to the Advanced have at least one thing in common: crocheting a swatch could mean your final project is right the first time.

A swatch is your time saver. Find out if your gauge is off before you start by crocheting that swatch. It will tell you before you get into the thick of your project if the yarn you're using splits too easily or doesn't move well. Crochet varying stitch patterns side-by-side for that new design to make certain they work well together.

In this group you’re welcome to post photos of your little swatch wonders, or start a discussion, so that you, too, can:

• Compare your gauge with others
• Ask a question about your stitches (why do/don’t they…?)
• Find out how to alter stitch patterns so they can be matched, stitch to stitch, to other SP’s
• Help others
• Ogle stitch-work and beautiful yarn

We want to help, for you to help others, and to share praise when something awesome works out. Remember, we're not here for your finished products; we're here for the work that goes into your project before you even get started.
