Hi,
I came across swatches in triangles, circles and stars, in aJapanese pattern book. Unfortunately, there are no instructions on how we can knit swatches in these shapes.
Does anyone know how I can knit swatches in star and circular shape?
Thanks,
Denise:knitting:
Sorry… I did some looking and I could not find anything. But I did find this that I thought everyone might like!

Thanks for looking. 
The scarf you found is so cute!!!
Seems like not many people knit ‘non-square’ swatches. Maybe I should ask what swatches everyone knits and what to they do with it…
