Understanding gauge is the single biggest key to garments that fit the way you intend. An hour and a half spent in this workshop with Kate could save you many hours of wasted knitting.

What does it mean to “meet gauge”? Why should we swatch? In this session, you’ll learn what gauge is, what it measures, and why it matters. We’ll talk through all the factors that affect gauge — needle size, yarn choice, knitting style, construction, and more — and how to adjust when your gauge doesn’t match what’s listed on a pattern.

In this session, you’ll explore:

  • The purpose and significance of gauge
  • Properties of textiles, patterns, and stitches and their effects on gauge
  • Creating and measuring gauge swatches
  • Understanding stitch and row gauge, vertical and horizontal ease
  • Yarn weights, metres, and grams — why measurement matters

Note: Materials are not included. Bring yarn from your stash or enjoy a 10% discount on in-store materials purchased for use in the workshop.

About the Instructor

Kate Crane is an educator, social anthropologist and a self-taught knitter who has been knitting for herself and others since 2015. She has recently taken an exciting foray into knitwear design, which has reinvigorated her knitting life! She considers art and craft as a way of being and responding in the world—a sweater isn’t just a sweater, but an entanglement of thought, feeling, material conditions, cultural practice, historical moment, and soulful reach toward what might be made possible. She lives in South Dartmouth with her husband and 5-year-old daughter.
