In this episode we dive into the math required for estimating yardages for modifications. Whether you're adding length, or removing pieces / length, the same process applies!
To figure out YOUR yardage per square inch (or square cm) you’re going to need:
1. Your swatch
2. A kitchen scale (see links below)
3. A calculator
4. A ruler / tape measure
5. The schematic for the project (for more complex shapes)
*The original scale that I use/show in the video (approx. $20 USD):* tinyurl.com/yc575nax
*A less expensive alternative (approx. $11 USD):* tinyurl.com/3duzcjmu
*Are you ready to knit your first sweater but don't know where to start?* I've created a FREE guide with everything you need to be successful in your first hand knit sweater! Check it out, here: unapologeticknitter.com/mfs
*Have you got more burning questions? Submit a form for future discussion topics:*
