What to do when your gauge is different from the pattern
Gauge is the number of stitches and rows you get per 4″ with a given yarn and needle size. Some knitters work tighter and some looser, so even with the exact yarn and needles the pattern calls for, your gauge can come out different from the designer's. That doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong.
When that happens, you don't have to put the pattern away. The calculator converts the pattern's stitch count to your own gauge, so the finished piece measures what the designer intended. You can also round the answer to an even number, an odd number or a multiple of four, whichever your stitch pattern needs.
