Small Tension Square Checker

This small-sized tension square checker is perfect for the on-the-go swatcher, or for those in a rush to get on with a project and are unlikely to make a large tension square. Once you have knitted a 10cm tension square, you can simply place the checker on top, making sure that the bottom of the inner square lines up to the bottom of a row and goes straight across that row.  The same applies to the stitches up each row.

Approximately 9cm x 9cm. 

The tool also has a hole for a strap. 

Small hook gauge (2 - 5mm)

The hook gauge openings are made so that they won't fit at all into a hole that is too small and should rattle around a little in a size that is too big.  When the hook is in the right-sized space, it will be a snug fit - just as it should be.  

I concentrated on the most popular hook sizes used.  If you need a gauge for larger hook sizes, see the Large hook gauge (below).

Approximately 9cm x 6cm.

Large hook gauge (5.5 - 8mm)

The hook gauge openings are made so that they won't fit at all into a hole that is too small and should rattle around a little in a size that is too big.  When the hook is in the right-sized space, it will be a snug fit - just as it should be.

If you need a gauge for smaller hook sizes, see the Small hook gauge (above).

Approximately 9cm x 6cm.

Needle gauge (2 - 5mm)

The needle gauge holes are made so that they won't fit at all into a hole that is too small and should rattle around a little in a size that is too big.  When the needle is in the right-sized hole, it will be a snug fit - just as it should be.  

I concentrated on the most popular needle sizes used.  If you need a gauge for larger needle sizes, see the Tension and needle gauge and/or jumper needle gauge.

Approximately 9cm x 6cm.

Crochet stitch conversions

People often struggle to remember the differences between UK and US crochet terminology, so I pulled together this little reminder.  It can be added (with the strap) to your project bag so that you will always know which stitch is which. 

The instructions given are slightly pared back from the original Kitchener stitch.  This is intentional so that you don't get the little ears that appear at the beginning and end of the graft.

Approximately 5cm x 5cm.

Kitchener stitch reminder

People often struggle to remember how to do Kitchener stitch.  I am a very visual learner and so pulled together this little graphic as a memory aid.
