The gauge is important to the final fit of the top. Because it is knit sleeve cuff to sleeve cuff, your measurement across the needles is the total length of the back PLUS the front. It will be too "short" in length.<br />Retry again with larger needles to get the right gauge, or use a chunkier yarn that knits to the right gauge.<br />That's my advise.<br />Cheers, Chrischrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530046359068388972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362487751109655084.post-27425136559557710962016-10-15T12:04:48.022-04:002016-10-15T12:04:48.022-04:00Hi Chris, I want to make your shrug with a twist ...Hi Chris, I want to make your shrug with a twist and am using yarn that I have it's called impecable medium number 4 yarn, not sure how you want us to do the gauge, you say gauge: 12 sts = 4 inches, I get 18 stitches for 4 inches. Not sure what to do at this point? I have about 6 inches done and the piece measures currently about 18 inches wide with 62 stitches if I keep knitting up to 80 I will have about 23 inches on the needles? Do you think this is okay?<br /><br />Any help would be appreciated.<br /><br />Thank you<br /><br />Diane<br />Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751907637641095962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362487751109655084.post-9009833173219516922016-09-10T14:32:24.030-04:002016-09-10T14:32:24.030-04:00Hi Doreen, I finished the shawl, but have procras...Hi Doreen, I finished the shawl, but have procrastinated in posting.

We are just now finally settled in and back to normal (almost), so thanks for the post, it reminds me where I left off!<br />Coming within a week, promise!<br />Chrischrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530046359068388972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362487751109655084.post-8513279691557487522016-09-08T22:03:37.487-04:002016-09-08T22:03:37.487-04:00Bought the yarn back in April and am patiently wai...Bought the yarn back in April and am patiently waiting for your pattern.

They are great looking socks!Minnasnowtanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03408784151785605007noreply@blogger.com
