Thank you for this gauge series. I definitely find gauge swatching tedious, but I seem to crochet tighter than "normal" so it is always important to swatch,and now I understand how to troubleshoot things better. Thanks again! ❤🧶❤️
Watching this video after obsessively making 6 gauge swatches until 5 in the morning is such a relieved feeling I tried changing the yarn, hook size and it never meets the gauge, now im gonna use your advice Thank you ❤
Finally someone who talks about real problems. I hate when people must have the yarn of the pattern, must be exact. Not all people have the resources to make a 150 dollar garment.
Great question. I think it really depends on what you're making. If it's something that doesn't need a close fit, than you may not have to be too accurate. Just be sure you have enough yarn. If it's a pattern that needs a fairly close fit, you may want to think about making adjustments depending on the construction of the project.

So glad you found this helpful!
Point well taken. My mom was a loose knitter, and she made us mittens all the time when we were teenagers, using a toddler sized pattern!
Yeah, that's a great tactic! Sounds like shebhad a good understanding of her knitting style!
Very good discussion. How close would you say is "close enough"?

Does this work for hats? I'm a beginner.
Yep! Crochet hats can be a more tricky to fit than knitted hats. I talk more about that in this video: ua-cam.com/video/vpc4hSNLvyU/v-deo.html
