Clover Swatch Ruler & Needle Gauge, White

I love Clover’s products for knitters and crocheters. They’re thoughtful, well-made, and a good value. This set of tools is no different. I’ve had other swatch/gauge tools, but this one goes beyond basic. It’s super easy to use, and while it’s a little bendy, it seems durable enough for years of use. Excellent!

Like all Clover products, this one is made with quality material and thoughtful design: thick plastic and easy to read markings. I primarily bought this for the gauge swatch ruler. I liked that it was a much more accurate 4"/10 cm square hole unlike my metal Susan Bates' one with only an L-shaped hole for measuring. And it's definitely better than using a tape measure! Then there is a second tool for measuring hooks and needles. For crocheters, the tool has notches that identify the size of hooks. This is helpful for those hooks that don't come with a permanent size engraved on them. The same problem is solved for knitting needles, especially circulars. The sizes are listed in US, Japanese, and mm terms. US knitting needle sizes listed are 0-15. Japanese are 0-15, but it's a different circumference from the US! So, all are also identified in millimeters. For crochet hooks, US sizes listed are B-N/P. Japanese are 2/0 through 10/0. Metric sizes are 2.0 through 10.0 mm. It was interesting to learn that Japan has some sizes that the US doesn't, and vice versa. So it's really handy that there is a metric equivalent for each despite the country of origin. My only concern is that, despite the tool being made of a heavier plastic, it's still breakable unlike my aluminum Susan Bates which I've had since the last century, so I'll have to be more careful with it. It's also bigger than the SB, so it will take up more room in my WIP bag. But since I only make a swatch before starting a project and won't need it until the next one, I'll be keeping it safe and separately from my everyday stitching tools. Hope this review helps you! Happy stitching!

This is an excellent tool for knitters. Easy to use and very versatile for all the options it includes. I always carry it with me. I highly recommend it.

I thought I could use it for needle size but it doesn’t do that. For crochet hooks works well

This was an impulse buy and ended up being a terrific purchase. I use the gauge square and not the needle/hook measures. I love love that I can measure rows and stitches at same time. Sturdy heavy material. Excellent value.

Makes it easier to measure swatches, which is exactly what I wanted.

Met expectations.

I love this set, it does it all.

Praktischer Helfer um Nadelgrößen von Häkelnadeln und Stricknadeln zu bestimmen.

I had thought this product would have been more sold then it is. Have all needles measurement in US. & MM.

A simple vista se ve que es de un material resistente pero hay que tener cuidado al momento de calibrar las agujas. Lo recomiendo si sus agujas no tienen su medida escrita o si se les borro el tamaño. Presentación ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Material ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Utilidad ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Très bon outil de tricot, bonne qualité. Je le recommande

Excellent ruler for swatch gauging.
