Every knitter knits differently so your gauge will be different depending on the yarn, needle size and whether you knit tight or loosely. Debbie demystifies gauge here and shows you how to knit a gauge swatch, how to measure your gauge and what to do if you don't get the gauge that the pattern calls for.
