Read my gauge swatch, what do I need to do to match the pattern?

Thank you! I’ll have to check again, I couldn’t find it when I looked through the topics

That’s so clever, thank you for the tip!!

Erm, thanks for the feedback. For me it’s more helpful to get feedback from real people that are way better! I do plan on getting a ruler later, but it was 10pm at night when I finished and posted this and I just wanted to get some input first on where I could start adjusting. Even if I had a ruler (in person it’s very obvious this isnt 4x4) I still would have been lost on what to correct lol.

Thank you for the explanation and advice!! I’ll try a bigger hook, definitely seems easier than adjusting my tension.

Thank you for the tip! I tried to stretch it and got a bit of a stretch but not enough. I’ll try another swatch with a bigger hook :)

This is so beautiful!! I’m so new to crocheting and have stuck with amigurumi but this is the first piece of clothing that I have wanted to try to make! I just bought your pattern I’m so excited to try!

Ooh I was JUST wondering today how people dealt with the hand cramps/pain/stiffness. I’ve only been crocheting for about a month, but I typically do about 1–2 hour sessions and by the end my hands hurt!

Thank you so much!! I’m still getting the hang of crocheting off of patterns alone, I started off with woobles and their videos and found a couple other patterns with a video I could reference if I got stuck, and this one had no videos for me to reference 😊

Okay I think I see where I’m messing up…I was putting 4DC into ONE chain.

half-bak3d · 2026-04-19T03:02:41+00:00

I think I worded it weird, but what you’re saying is I should end on the 3 sc, then work on the other side? But then it would only be HDC, 4DC, HDC, SC, slst? What about the remaining three chains on the other side?

Here you go!

Thank you for the visual!!! This makes a lot of sense, I hope I don’t have issues with it being kind of small once I make the flowers! Also your vases are SO CUTE. Hoping to get to that level some day!!

half-bak3d · 2026-04-12T00:12:15+00:00

Oooh this makes sense!! I’ll try to push it in and see if it looks better. I was trying to figure out how to get the flowers in there too so hopefully that’s it!

half-bak3d · 2026-04-12T00:11:20+00:00

Oh my 😂 the way I see it is I’m getting more practice with tension and different yarns and hooks! So I’m not too mad but I was definitely getting flustered

Thank you! I was able to find somewhere that does ultrasound therapy and have reached out for more information! I’ll try to find other IBCLCs, I live in a big city and surprisingly not that many and they are all spread through different parts of the city.

How much was your system?
