Row Gauge Woes


PBLKNP

Question

I’m currently up against my old nemesis...row gauge (height).  I can usually get gauge when it’s just a matter of stitches per inch (width).  This is usually sufficient for any pattern where you just have to crochet “until X inches long”. However, my row height tends to be short.  I’m working on a pattern where I have to crochet diagonal SC squares. Because my rows are too short, they’re coming out more like diamond shapes.  If I go up a hook size, then the stitches per inch (width) is off.  Does anyone have any good tips for making higher rows?

There's 2 booklets by a guy named Elmore (Annie' Attic or Leisure Arts maybe). He created a bunch of "in between" stitches. Granny Square's idea sounds like one of his. If I can find my books I can check it out. But it sounds like a good idea. Try it and see how it goes. Good Luck.
