STEM in Knitting: Designing with a Swatch
by Anna Boyd
This is the 3rd lesson of a 4 part series. In this lesson the students will be using their gauge from their swatch to design a garment or accessory for a model. Using proportional relationships, students will use model with mathematics how many stitches, rows, and yarn they would need to complete their project. This is the beginning of the Engineering and Design process of knitting.
