The gauge is stated as 10 x 10 cm in all patterns. This is the measure that ensures that you get the correct size.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Crochet gauge swatch<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The first thing you need to do when starting on your crochet project is to make a crochet swatch. Using a crochet swatch, you know if you can get the correct dimensions specified as 10 x 10 cm.<\/p>\n<p>When you have to make a crochet swatch, you start with for example 30 stitches in width. Then crochet the pattern, so that you have a swatch that is 10 x 10 cm. It is important that you crochet a swatch of the pattern and not just in single crochet or something like that, as it is the pattern that needs to be measured.<\/p>\n<p>Here you measure whether you get the correct gauge in the pattern. That is, whether you have the same number of stitches and rows on the 10 x 10 cm as stated in the pattern. You just measure up with a ruler or measuring tape. Preferably a few different places in the swatch.<\/p>\n<p>In width you can adjust with your crochet hook size. If you have too many stitches on 10 cm than specified, go up in hook size. Start with half a size. Conversely, if you have too few stitches on the 10 cm, go down in hook size on your crochet hook.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have made your crochet swatch and you can easily make it fit in width with your crochet hook size. But! The height just isn&#8217;t correct, what do you do?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The golden loop<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You go in and adjust on &#8220;The Golden Loop&#8221;. Namely, the first loop, which is pulled up in the stitch. It defines how high your stitches will be. By adjusting it a bit, you will be able to get the right gauge in the pattern exactly.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially important when crocheting patterns for sweaters, dresses, cardigans and any other clothing where you need to get an exact size.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 3 English concepts that are named after the crochet style you have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Yanker<\/strong>: Means to yank or pull. If you keep the yarn tight, you are most likely a yanker. Your stitches will be somewhat lower than the other two crochet styles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rider<\/strong>: If you are a rider, then you are in the medium category. Here you hold your crochet hook approx. horizontally on the piece and your stitches will be medium-height.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lifter<\/strong>: It means lifting. If you are a lifter, then you lift up well in the golden loop, and get some higher stitches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The three styles here can also vary on one&#8217;s own work. When I crochet a little faster than usual, I lift the stitches higher. It can also vary on the same day. If I sit completely concentrated, I am a just in between a yanker and a rider. If I sit in the evening in a little darker light and cozy crochet in front of the TV, I lift a bit more.<\/p>\n<p>To get the best result, you should crochet completely continuously. That will make it nice and uniform, so please be a little attentive, when you work with it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>This is shown in double crochet but it applies to all types of stitches: Single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, treple crochet etc.<\/p>\n<p>Video and design by Milla Billa &#8211; Music by www.bensound.com<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5502,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[],"portfolio_skills":[],"portfolio_tags":[],"class_list":["post-5385","avada_portfolio","type-avada_portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>TIP #7: The Golden Loop - Milla Billa<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Video-Guide: The Golden Loop.
