2 gauges are given. On standard, Passap & Superba machines use a fingering weight yarn such as Tamm 3 ply Astracryl and strive for a gauge of 14 stitches/10 rows/inch if all of the needles involved are counted. There will actually be 7 stitches on each face of the fabric in a given inch. For mid-gauge and bulky machines choose a light worsted weight yarn and strive for a gauge of 8 stitches/6 rows/” if all needles are counted. Probably stitch size to get this gauge is around the middle of the dial. There will actually be 4 stitches on each face of the fabric in any given inch. The numbers for the bulky version appear first with numbers for standard version in brackets like these . If you cannot match the gauge perfectly, strive for the stitch gauge over the row gauge, then adjust the number of rows knitted so that each segment is the length desired. This scoodie fits adult women and most girls age 10 and up. This is part of a book called “Special Scoodies.”
