The Swatch Cheat Sheet was born out of my attempt to keep things organised and uniform during the swatching process.

​

What is it?
All your initial design thoughts, swatch ideas and notes in one place.  No need to keep in mind what notes to jot down every time you swatch – just follow the prompts.

 

How do I use it?
Fill out the sheet in bits and pieces, from initial thoughts through blocking. Use the sheet as a reminder of your next step in the swatching process and as a guide to understanding your swatch.

 

Storage ideas.
a) Print the Cheat Sheet out on cardstock, fill it out and file with the swatches made.
b) Take a picture of your filled out Cheat Sheet and swatch, upload it to your project page on Craftsy/Ravelry!

 

Your notes will be an important part of your Design Style Sheet should you choose to write a pattern.

 

Please note that this is a two page, more detailed version of the Draft Design Sheet.
