Crochet 411

  • Hi! I am making a baby blanket that calls for a #4 worsted weight yarn but I would like to do it in a #3. After swatching for the gauge I think I need to correct the pattern for size. I know I have to do the math but I don’t know how! Can you help me? Thanks

    • Does it tell you how many stitches to increase by? Sometimes the pattern will say (multiples of 6+1) or something like that. If there’s no info you can count how many stitches in the repeat and that usually works. So if a pattern says, *sc in next, dc in next, ch 1, skip next – that’s 3 stitches, so you would make sure you increase by 3, 6, 9, 18, etc.
