As any designer will tell you, sometimes you have to swatch, and swatches can be used to do many different things! Sometimes I swatch to test out a yarn, a stitch pattern, or a technique, and sometimes just to improve my knitting skills. Not all of them can be turned into a useful finished object but this swatch to practice different methods of picking up stitches can!

Only small amounts of all the colors are used, so dig through your scraps and make a colorful, useful swatch!
