Question
Dolly Elliott
Sorry dumb question but I am a newbie. Gauge states: 14 sts in sc/dc rows = 4 inches and 10 rows in sc/dc rows = 4 inches
So does this mean, one swatch done all in dc and another swatch done in sc? Or am I supposed to combine both sc and dc in one swatch, e.g. one row sc, one row dc? I'm adding to my post. The instructor actually shows 2 swatches to compare but does not state what stitches she used. I'm attaching a photo here. I assume this is single crochet only maybe?
But in the whole sweater, she is using all sorts of stitches. She says the yoke is the most important part to determine the gauge and that pattern is: Row 1: dc in each stitch across (on rep rows work in back lps of each st) Row 2: 1 sc crochet in front loop of each st Row 3: dc in back loop of each st Row 4: sc in front loop of each stitch.
So should I use the yoke pattern for a swatch? I will try to contact my instructor as well if possible.
