Question
Tammy Leggetter
Hello All…. HELP!!!!
I used Yarnsub to buy yarn close to the one recommended on a pattern.
The one recommended on the pattern was 3.5oz/100g/317yds/290m/#3 fine weight.
50% Cotton 50% Acrylic. 23sts/10 cm (4”) and 29 rows.
My yarn is 3.5oz/100g/50% Cotton 50% Acrylic, DK mix, 23 stitches, 32 rows to 10cm/4".
The pattern writer calls for a gauge: G hook = 13sc x 17sc rows = 4”. I just can’t see how this gauge is achieved with this size hook. I would need to go up to an L size hook to achieve anywhere near this and the pattern writers gauge is no where near the gauge for the yarn recommended.
Can anyone help?
Thank you
Tammy
