It is very important to use the same needle finish (bamboo, metal) when you do your swatch as you will when you knit your skirt. You can swatch in the round using the suggested DPNs, two circulars or one long circular for magic-loop. We liked using needles with a more slippery finish and pointier tip.

Make note of your unblocked gauges - both stitches and rows are very important here! We even suggest that you make two tubular swatches, launder one, and keep the other as a reference for your unwashed knitting.

When drying your swatch (and, afterward your finished skirt), make sure the piece is completely dry coming out of the dryer. This will be your finished, blocked gauge. Your skirt may look out of shape immediately out of the dryer - no worries, though, pull down until you get the right length, then press with a hot iron to set it in place.
