I’ve had to start DH’s sweater again<\/i>. Gauge issues, surprise, surprise.
\nJo Sharp Silkroad DK knits up at 20sts and 30 rows over 4″ on 4mm needles. Fine. The pattern calls for 22sts and 30 rows over 4″ on 4mm needles with the same yarn. The pattern stitch is rib like, but isn’t a true rib.
\nRow 1: Knit
\nRow 2: P9, K1tbl.
\nI cannot get gauge. So I swatched again, changing Row 1 to K9, P1, and I seem to be getting gauge on 3.75mm needles. I was down to 3.5mm needles on the original pattern, and it was still too big on stitch gauge, and way too small on row gauge. That 1 twisted knit stitch is not enough to draw the gauge in by 2 stitches in 4″.
