    I bought this pattern yesterday as my first ever crochet garment. I have done a few granny square type of things before. I have seen people talking about the importance of the (in)famous gauge, and to be honest I just wanted to skip it and jump right into the project 😊 But I decided to be a good girl and do “this gauge thing” LOL And boy am I glad that I did. In my country we don’t have the same crochet needles that you have in the US. The pattern recommended 4.25. Where I live I can buy 4.0 or 4.5. Since the closest size that fit me seems slightly too big, I chose to go with 4.0. Then I started my little gauge. My biggest discovery that I am soooooo happy I found out before I started the main project is that I struggle with keeping up with the number of stitches, so they decrease with almost every single row. So I will need the support of stitch markers to make sure I get that final stitch and don’t end up with a halter neck that don’t even cover my… top part LOL The second thing I discovered is that with the actually rather thin cotton yarn I have, that should be equivalent to the fingering weight yarn in this pattern, my 4 inches was reached in 11 rows, and not in 12 as the pattern indicated for the gauge.
    The reason I write this is that I hope that it will help other newbie garment crocheters to see why it’s useful to make the gauge. I’m now on my way to redo the gauge with a 3.5 hook to see if I can get my 12 rows within 4 inches. Then I will have to see what I’ll do with the number of stitches across.

    Fabulous! Looking for something easy to make for my first clothing project (not including hats and scarves) and so simple too. I'm assuming the yarn used would make a big difference. I might try it with a cotton yarn to wear day time. And as it's only 2 rectangles sewn together I've suddenly got loads of ideas for different stitch patterns. I might have to start making stuff for my girls, smaller and quicker and they're young enough to not be too picky, in fact they'll love it! 😁

    I would love more crochet patterns for garments from you. I am a fan of your style. I look forward to more summer tops, sweaters, cardigans of all kinds, and dresses! Lol
    It's a lot to ask I know. I am really enjoying your channel.
    I am a fan of sport weight in summer as I live in Florida, and lovely worsted and bulky weights for fall and winter.
    Love and light sunshine 🌞
    I will be learning to knit with you very soon. It is my thing to learn this year.
