Crochet pro tip: If you need to crochet a gauge swatch for a project that's worked in the round, here's the fastest way I've found to do it: 1) make your starting chain as usual but don't join to form a ring 2) crochet your first round as you normally would. Except it's more like you are just doing half of the round because then you will... 3) make a long enough chain to take you back to the start 4) crochet your next round, letting the chain fall behind your work. The resulting fabric will be the same as if you worked it in the traditional way and your swatch will provide accurate measurements, but it's much much faster, and uses less yarn, than crocheting a tube. I'm making this swatch for a very small hat for an amigurumi character. The first amigurumi I've made since Squirrel Picnic! So excited to rediscover amigurumi.
