Lesson 4 · 5 min
Materials, gauge and finished size
The facts buyers check before they buy the yarn.
Materials
- Yarn name, fibre and weight (e.g. DK / 3)
- Amount in metres or yards, not just skeins
- Hook size in mm and US size
- Notions: stitch markers, safety eyes, tapestry needle, stuffing
Gauge
Write gauge as a number of stitches and rows over a measured square, in the stitch used, and after blocking if that matters.
16 sts × 18 rows = 10 cm (4 in) in sc, blocked
Finished size
Give the measurements of the finished item, and for wearables, how much ease you designed for.
