Why for the gauge swatch do you sc across but for the pattern for the super bulky faux knit beanie do you sl st in each stitch?
Hello Linda, the gauge swatch is just a quick simple pattern you can work up to check you gauge with the designers.
Amy
Thank you. Yes, I know that, but the swatch should be the same stitches being used in the pattern. Correct? That’s why I didn’t understand why the swatch was sc and the pattern says to sl st throughout. Please let me know. Thank you
In some cases the gauge is worked in the same stitch as the pattern. But this really doesn’t matter since what we are checking is our tension with the designers so that we achieve the most accurate finished product as expected. What matters most is that your gauge match the gauge given, despite whatever stitch you work for either.
Hope this helps,
Amy
Lovely hat and nice colour too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Rachel.x
Thanks Lita!

What size hook do we use? There’s 2 in the list?
Sorry about that, Rachel S, I corrected the pattern by adding instructions for which hook to use and when.
Amy
Great, thanks! 😀
Thank you Amy. I just wanted to make sure. It sure looks like a cute beanie.
