In today’s Yarn Talk, I’m sharing one of the biggest surprises from the first week of The Everyday Tee Crochet Along.
With around 60 participants working on the same project, I expected some variation in gauge—but I didn’t expect just how different everyone’s swatches would be.
This experience sparked some interesting thoughts about gauge, garment fit, crochet design, and why understanding adjustments may be more important than matching a pattern perfectly.
In this video, I talk about:
✨ What I learned from seeing dozens of swatches
✨ Why gauge is so personal
✨ The difference between matching gauge and understanding gauge
✨ How confidence grows when you understand the relationship between stitch counts and measurements
✨ Why I believe garment construction is the key to customization

I’d love to hear your experience in the comments.
Are you someone who usually gets gauge on the first try, or do you often need to make adjustments?
Happy crocheting! 💛
