Sally and I have both commented on adapting patterns to gauge — most recently Sally mentioned that she needed to adapt the sleeve cap on her Berry Cluster Pullover because her row gauge was slightly different than the pattern. We have provided a link on our blog to an on-line source for creating free Actual Size Graph Paper. I find this very useful for regauging knitting projects. I’m teaching a finishing class tomorrow and developed the following handout to help illustrate HOW to make these adjustments, so I thought I would share it here:
Example: Adapting a Sleeve Cap with Actual Size Graph Paper
Just thought some of you might find it useful.
Thanks a million! Your tips are extremely helpful. I’m just loving the bohus sweater you knit. Now the Yarn Harlot has jumped on your bandwagon. I’ve been eyeing up the light pink one with the button up front. Any opinions? I trust your judgement 🙂
Also, is it purchased as a kit? or pattern and separate yarn purchase?
Thanks again!! and enjoy the rest of your weekend…. happy knitting
