GaugeGauge is the number of stitches (and spaces) per inch and the number of

rows (or rounds) per inch. Your gauge and the gauge listed at the beginning

of the pattern should be the same so that your project will finish to the correct

size and so you will not run out of yarn.

Before starting your pattern, check your gauge! Using the same yarn,

hook and pattern stitch specified in the instructions, make a swatch that is

approximately 6” square.

Using pins, mark off a section of stitches in the center of the swatch that

measures 4” square. Count the number of stitches and rows in this 4” section.

If they match the gauge, you can start right in on your pattern.

If you have too few stitches, you are working too loosely—change to a smaller

hook or needle size and make another swatch. If you have too many stitches,

you are working too tightly—change to a larger hook or needle size and make

another swatch.
