Swatch Instructions
Use your gauge swatch to familiarize yourself with the technique following these kinds of charts (instructions included with charts). You can use any of the charts included in the pattern to obtain your gauge or work the Mo-Mo bag tutorial that I have included in my blog.
Be sure to block and check gauge before starting by making a big enough gauge swatch (at least 15 x 15 cm / 6 x 6 in).
Certain materials might sag, and fabric may extend too much with drape, so adjust hook size appropriately.
Always block your swatch for more accurate results.
