I'm a rank knitting beginner, and my knitting group encouraged me against my wishes! to knit a swatch before beginning a hat. Now I understand WHY it's necessary to do this! Many thanks for your clear explanation of gauge.

Great info for beginning knitter - or reminder info for experienced knitter who thinks she know everything, but her project turns out to be the wrong size!
