Introduction to Gauge in Knitting // Technique Tuesday

This video is the first in a series on gauge. This video lays the foundation for understanding the relationship between yarn weight (thickness) and needle size for establishing stitch size, how changing needle size will change the fabric created with a specific yarn, and how stitch patterns can change the gauge when the yarn and needle size remain the same.
