✔️ You’ve ever used the same yarn and hook as the pattern but still got the wrong size.
✔️ You feel frustrated when your projects turn out stiff, floppy, or just off.
✔️ You’ve wasted time and yarn on projects that don’t fit the way they should.
✔️ You want to confidently adjust your hook, yarn, or tension without guesswork.
✔️ You dream of crocheting garments and accessories that actually fit.
I’ve felt the struggle trying to figure out why even if I use the same hook and yarn as the designer, my size doesn’t come out right. When I first started crocheting, patterns were so intimidating, like a secret code, and I thought there was no way I am ever gonna be able to read patterns.
But here I am today, I have crocheted 100s of projects and even designed over 100. All this was only possible because I learnt these 2 basic skills- pattern reading and gauge.
I want to share with you in my words, so that anyone can understand what gauge is and how to read a crochet pattern. I hope you enjoy these!
