WHY IS YOUR CROCHET GAUGE SO IMPORTANT?

Have you ever tried to crochet a blouse that ended up being too big or too small? Then it's typically the crochet gauge that has been teasing you! 🙈

Crochet gauge is about how tight or loose you crochet. If the pattern says 20 single crochet in 10 cm, and you only have 18, then your project will be too big. If you have 22, then it will be too small. 📐

SOLUTION

💡ALWAYS make a swatch before you start, especially if you're crocheting clothes.

💡 Is your swatch too small? Change to a larger crochet hook 

💡 Is your swatch too large? Change to a smaller crochet hook.

💡 You can olao buy a crochet swatch measure to make it easier to measure the crochet gauge

Tip

You can save your swatch samples and put them together for a small blanket, bag, etc. You can always adjust the size of your swatch samples by crocheting a sc, hdc or dc border around them, to make them the same size.
