Knit Talk - Ep 09 - Adjusting a Pattern for Different Gauges - The Sweater Version!
In today's episode we discuss what to look for in a pattern when adjusting for gauge - specifically choosing a size from the pattern that allows you to work a size close to your desired size, without working with the exact pattern gauge!
Are you ready to knit your first sweater but don't know where to start? I've created a FREE guide with everything you need to be successful in your first hand knit sweater! Check it out, here: www.unapologeticknitter.com/mfs

Thank you so much for watching, Linda! Please let me know if you ever have things you'd like covered! So happy to have you here!
This couldn’t have been a more timely topic as I’ve been dealing with this very issue with a sweater I’m planning to make. The yarn I want to use is a lighter fingering than the pattern calls for but I don’t particularly care for the fabric with larger needles. So I’ve been working on figuring out if I can make one of the larger sizes rather than refiguring every count individually. So your tutorial was just the thing for me! Keep up the wonderful work!

You're welcome, Joan!
What a great episode Meaghan. I have struggled with gauge on occasion and have tried changing sizes and needle types but still didn't get gauge. I never thought of knitting a different size because I didn't know how to get the size I would need for my arms. BTW, love seeing both your puppy and your Hudson Bay blanket (fellow Canadian) in your videos.

Thanks so much for watching, Val! I'm glad you enjoy Moo being there. ;) And the blanket... a prized possession for me! Having grown up in Canada I've always loved the look of their blankets and mugs. That was a gift from my Mum a few years ago (along with two matching coffee mugs!). And I'm also glad you enjoyed the episode! If you ever have questions about adjusting for size just let me know!
Is there any chance that you have a printable with these formulas on it? Thank you so much!

Hi Kayla! Thanks for watching! I don't have the formula's worked up in a separate document. I've gone back and forth between having them in the comments or on the screen as I chat but nothing to download directly. Happy knitting!
