guage/tension


Krystal

Question

I'm doing my first guage swatch, and I'm finding that I crochet very tightly. Even when I relax with the next hook bigger, I don't quite make the guage.

 

Is this common? I feel like I'm doing something horribly wrong. :th

 

(I am very new to crochet)

No, you're probably doing just fine. Everyone crochets with different tensions - that is exactly why you should do a swatch for some patterns. It's perfectly okay to go up another hook size to get your gauge, and sometimes you might even have to go down a size or two! :))
