Question
cjansen
This is the first time I am trying to make clothing. and I've never paid much attention to gauge because I didn't need too.
BUT... I'm making the classic elite yarn Sundance Not-yellow Crochet Top-Down Tank www.classiceliteyarns.com/webletter/41/issue41.php
I figured out that Sundance is a DK yarn (I want to practice with yarn I already have) the gauge is supposed to be with a J hook - 12 stitches wide and 11.5 rows = 4" in hdc. when I do this I get the 12 stitches across but about 9 rows high = 4". and when I use an I hook the 12 stitch row is about 3.5" wide.
what am I supposed to do to correct this?
