Knit Stretch Ruler from Stitch Buzz

I used the Knit Stretch Ruler from Stitch Buzz to figure out what my fabric was actually doing before I committed to a pattern size. It made it easy to see that my knit had about 40% usable stretch, which explained why my original size choice gave me a loose fit.

Pros

+Makes measuring knit stretch quick and straightforward
+Helps you choose a better pattern size for knits
+Works well for checking stretch without guessing

Cons

-You still have to judge print distortion yourself if you’re working with a bold print
