Meglet Sep 2020 10:51pm, 3 Sep 2020 21,230 posts	0 Meglet That’s nice. I don’t get on well with crochet garments as my vertical gauge is always too small. I usually have to add rows-which is ok depending on the pattern. It’s also much easier to fudge a few stitches than knitting if the count is wrong or you need more shaking.
