@@xanthekitses that depends on what I’m making. If it’s a wearable, I would check throughout the pattern to see if it gives any dimensions anywhere and use that as a jumping off point. Sometimes patterns don’t give gauge because it’s unimportant, but they’re supposed to say that in the pattern regardless. Otherwise they might tell you to chain out to a length of X number of inches or something like that and work enough rows/rounds until a certain height is met. If none of that is in the pattern and it’s aw wearable then I usually try to fit-check it as I work. I hope this helps!

Thank you! What would you do if there’s no gauge provided in the pattern?

Been a Yanker since I started and I doomed to never make garments
