Up the Volume Scarf Materials:

Gauge:

In this pattern gauge is not crucial. Although you should always make a swatch and check your gauge it is most important with projects that require sizing. This would include hats, mittens and sweaters.

By making a gauge swatch you can learn a lot. First you will see how the fabric will drape. This is most important when you are substituting the yarn called for in the pattern. A swatch will also show you how many stitches per inch you are getting. Matching that number to the pattern will tell you if your finished item will be the same size as the designer made in their sample.

When you knit your swatch if you have more stitches per inch compared to the pattern you will find that your finished item is smaller than what the pattern states. If you have fewer stitches per inch than what is listed in the pattern your finished item will be larger than what the designer has. You can change the gauge by going up or down in needle size and also by changing the yarn, if you are not using what was called for in the pattern.
