You are a natural teacher. A friend and i were just trying to come up with a way to get a square & round yoke with crochet and were flustered that we couldn't find any books on our shelves that dealt with it. I decided to search yt and here you are!!!! We both have a gazillion lbs of leftover yarn and want to make baby sweaters & more for charity with any yarn & any hook. Thank you!!!❤

I’ve been looking for an answer to this question for ever, in sewing you learn to make a pattern easily if you want to but not enough information in crochet, just ready made patterns. Thank you so much for this excellent lesson ❤❤❤
What a godsend! Thank you for the best video I have ever seen and the best explanations! Most makers don't want to share this information. I truly am grateful!!!
OMG! Olivia! Thank you for your lovely comment. It is my absolute pleasure to create these knowing other makers find it useful. Looking forward to seeing what you create:)
Thank you so much for this lesson! I’ve been looking for an extensive tutorial for weeks but never found one that explain things so clearly and thoroughly as you do. I’ve restarted my yoke about 5 times at this point and haven’t managed to get it right. The 6th time will be the charm! Thank you 😊❤
Keep at it! It does take some practice. to get the basic concept . Once you have it, you'll be flying through these types of projects. If you have any detailed questions, just let me know as you go. Have fun!
Excellent tutorial. Tells you everything you need to know - that the pattern writers don't! Very helpful. I'm now confident I won't be frogging my next attempt at a top down sweater. Thank you.
Thank you so much!!! This is so helpful...esp for someone who loves to design/make up stuff on the fly lol! I’ve spent countless hours ‘frogging’ garments trying to ‘figure it out’!! I have countless books, and I think I’ve sub’d to EVERY YT crochet tutorial channel, but no one explains the math/techniques on how to make items and how to create different sizes (or even how to work up the gauge (is it taken from the garment itself or done separately??). I would love more videos like this!! So helpful!!! Thank you! Thank you!!!!
Michelle! Thank you for such a wonderful comment. I love to design things and make them up as I go too so I was excited to share these methods so anyone can do it too;) Let me know if you have any questions and I'm always happy to help. Enjoy! 😍
@@2Delovely LOL Bi head means big brains:) That means you are very intelligent! 😀So you would use 24" as your starting measurement for your yoke or sometimes creating a cardigan makes it a little easier if you'd like your neck line to sit more snuggly to your neck.
Wonderful! I hope you will gain the freedom to design your own. Ket me know how you find it and if you have any further questions, I am happy to help:)
Oh thank you so much Mary! Will do! If you have any other questions that you can think of for me to answer on the quick chat series, please feel free to let me know! Take care and happy crocheting:)
First time i did understand the whole process! Thank you so much you are incredible teacher!

thank for explaining this. I just crocheted a top and of course my arm opening is 3 inches short and I already crocheted 10 inches of the body and using #2 cotton thread. ugggg. now I can fix it though because it is beautiful yarn. again thank you
Do you have a video of how to then divide the arm holes as that is the part im struggling with how do you make sure you have the right amount of stitches to then divide the arm holes up
Hi Katie! I do go over that in the video as well as make sure you have the sizing chart handy so you can refer to it for your specific size. If you have a current project going, them perhaps send me an email with a picture and or your measurements and I'll try to better guide you. Just email me at info@crochetcrafty.com. Hope this helps!
I absolutely love this video! Thanks for sharing! But I do have one question, if you don't mind. When we are about to start the body, would you close the underarm area with a slip stitch or would include chains?! I ask because I just finished a square yoke and I added a few chains. It looks great, it fits really nicely but I think I could only make it work because I was trying on along the way. But how I would measure for a client, for example? Chest, upper arm width? I got a bit confused. Still, thanks for this incredible video!
Hi Vitoria! I'm so happy you find this tutorial useful. If you are crocheting this for someone else, I would go ahead and add a chain or two in the underarm area. It's always better to make things a little bigger than smaller. I personally always go by the arm depth measurement first. Once you reach your arm depth, add some pins or markers, then check to see if your chest measurement equals what your chest measurement requirement is. If the chest measurement falls too small, I would do another round or two until your chest measurement reaches the number you need. *Remember to add a little wiggle room with an extra round or two in general unless you like your sweater tight. I would rather have a looser fitting sleeve than a tight bodice. I hope that all makes sense! Please feel free to check in with in any other questions. Have fun!
Just subscribed!! 'm a beginner and this is so useful. What determines putting extra stitches under the arm pit. (A chain that joins the arm hole) Thank you
Hello and welcome to the crochet gang:) Under the arm stitches will vary from 0 - 2. You may choose to do more but that would make your armhole even bigger. It all depends on how much ease you'd like in the fit of the sleeve. Do you want a tighter fit or something a little more relaxed? More relaxed means adding a chain or two as you join to create your armhole. Hope that makes sense? Have fun and let me know if you have any other questions.😀👍
Thank you so much for this. Have been wanting to learn for years but would get frustrated. Especially with all my ideas. Do you have any tips if planning color work or intarsia with the increases?
Hi there! Yes, that's exactly right. I explain that in the video as I usually like to do cardigans:) Let me know if there was a particular part that wasn't clear and I'll help you as best I can.👍
I'm not sure of any specific books but if you learn how garments in general are constructed by learning some basic sewing construction, it does help. Hope this answer helps you?
Hi. I hope you dont mind but i do have a question. How do we determine the shoulder part? 3 parts in back 3 parts in front. But the shoulder part am a bit lost. Kindly help me out. Thank you
I am actually working on a Round yoke cardigan project and hope to have it up by Spring. You may want to have a peek at this Angel cloak design which is similar except that you would have to stop when you are ready to create your arm holes but the principle would be the same. ruclips.net/video/QeFt3kjgRG8/видео.html
What if the yoke reached already the measurement needed to connect for the arm. The problem is the person who will be wearing it is on the big side and it does not reach the other side. How many stitches do i need to do for it to reach the other side? Or is that the right thing to do?
I have a question for the opening of the yoke when you start making your chains. For the square and round yoke.. for this one you mentioned to use the circumference of the head of the person to determine the size of the yoke for it to enter the person's head.. shouldn't that also apply to the rectangle & square yoke? I used yure measurements for the neck and they all come too small for it to fit on the person's head.. shouldn't we use the measurements of the head for the square yoke too?
Oh yes. You are absolutely right. In my example, I was creating a cardigan which had an opening in the front therefore, getting it over the head was not an issue, but I would use the back of neck measurement for the square yolk and perhaps add 1/3 of that measurement on top of it to allow for, the Head to go through. Give that a go and let me know how it turns out. Thanks for bringing this up.👍
Hi Gladi, if you are looking at the sizing charts on the website there is one specifically for kids and one for adults. The technique would be the same. Hope that helps!
Hi Priya, I'm not quite sure of the question. The video explains how to create your arm holes once you've reached your desired chest measurement if that's what you are asking?
It's up to you. If you feel th measurement around the chest is good but find that the arm opening might still be too snug then you could chain 2 or 3 to give you some ease. If the opening is fine then I would go ahead and just double crochet as usual. Hope that makes sense. :)
Bonjour. Un grand merci pour ce tutoriel. Je vous regarde de France j'ai compris les grandes lignes je vais donc pouvoir essayer. En ce sui me concerne personnellement je trouve dommage que votre vidéo n'offre pas la possibilité d'avoir les sous-titres dans une autre langue. Pour moi il s'agirait du français. Bien heureusement que je comprends l'anglais hors mis ce petit problème, vous êtes parfaite dans vos explications. Thank you 😉😘
Bonjour Francoise et merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires adorables. Je ne parle pas Francais Je parle un petite peu de français mais j'ai pu te comprendre aussi. 😊 Merci Merci!
Oh yes! I have talked about it during some of my project tutorials but that its a brilliant idea to create a lesson focussed on that. Will do very shortly! Stay tuned!
@@TheStitchSessions thank you so much for your reply .but.i think I am seeing a yoke for a kids sweater ? I am not sure .can you please confirm,? Thank you again
I chain 102 stitches the first part confused me do I double crochet until I have 10 double crochets and increase on the 11 crochet when I slip stitch do I chain three do a double crochet into the stitch I slip stitch into
Hi Ruben What you want to do is try to stitch in multiples of 10 if you can. Whatever your chain number you have make sure to divide it by 10 so you know where to place your increases. In your example you have 102 chains do let's leave those 2 extra chains for a moment so you just have 100. Divide that by 10 and you have 10. So you would increase into every 10th stitch in the first round. If you had 150 chains, for example, you would divide that by 10 and you'd get 15 therefore you would increase into every 15th stitch. You always want to have 10 "sections" between your increases. So in the next round you'd increase into every 16th st, and round 3 you would increase into every 17th st etc. Hope that makes sense? Also once you slip st and chain 3, do not go back into the slip st as usually your chain 3 will count as a double crochet. Hope that's clarified some things for you. Please let me know if you have any other question and I'll be happy to help. Good luck!
@@rubenvasquez9881 It would be the same approach. You could go either way by doing an increase row for that first one after forming the armholes. Otherwise there should be no increases now as you form the body of the cardigan or sweater.👍
Once you know the length of your arm, then you would chain until you reach that length if you are working your sleeve lengthwise. The number of chains may vary from one stitcher to the next depending on how tightly or loosely you stitch. Hope that helps!
Ty for this video, it was well made. I have a question about the sleeves also. I'll be working them in the round from the arm hole made. Do you have a system for how to decrease so you don't end up with a huge cuff?
Hi Ruben, I explain it in the video and you can also watch an example here on this round yoke project I have previously done. ruclips.net/video/8pOtEOhvD5M/видео.html Hope this helps!
Ma'am I'm confused now I'm at the part where you said if you increase from 50 to 60 than I'll have to place an increase at every 5th stitch but you just wrote on the paper each row increase by ten. I started a yoke and I'm doing split single crochet and I'm on the third row and it's already rippling like ruffles. And I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to do that so I'm wondering is it because I'm doing split single crochet instead of double crochet? And I'm also confused on this saying now I have to increase every fifth stitch I thought each row only increasing only ten each row.
Hi Ashley, yes every round that you increase will increase by 10 stitches. For example 50 stitches divided by 10 = 5 and that is why we increase into every 5th stitch. (1 extra st in these 10 increase spots will give us an additional 10 sts which will = 60 in total) . So if you are not increasing in the next round you will still have 60 stitches. Into the following round we will divide 60 by 10 increase points which will give us 6. That means that you will place an increase into every 6th stitch which will bring your total to 70 sts. This way you are always increasing 10 times in each round. Hopefully that makes sense? Now, the fact that your work is rippling could be that your gauge is tight. The split single crochet stitch should still work with this method. If you are generally a tight crocheter, I recommend using a larger hook size to help your work sit a little more relaxed. Let me know if this is a little clearer for you. I'd be happy to answer any further questions to help you along. -K
So what I ended doing was the four point Raglan style which seems to work great I saw a video where the person had all four sides equal stitch count which I struggled alot to get it to fit right because the two sleeve sides were huge so I took half of it apart and decreased every 9 stitchs which shrunk up that part enough that by the time I made the underarm portion it curved slightly around my shoulder. If I was to do this raglan style again next time the sides that are the shoulder sleeve portion will not be equal to the front and back. I guess it's all trial and error cause I really didn't know what I was doing but the round yoke I definitely want to try that again. Thank you for messaging back and being so helpful with your videos.
@@LionandLamb316 Hi Ashley, I'm glad you were able to work it out. Yes, the perfectly square yoke sometimes doesn't sit right and that's why a rectangular one will give you a better fit depending on the body type. Keep me posted on how it continued to come along. Sincerely, Karen
Hey.. I'm like a large chested woman, everything is size small, apart from my chest... So when I make a yolk.. my back looks like I have wings... If I follow the armholes... My boobs do not fit at all... So my chest is like 33 inches en my armhole dept is like 4 and a half inches... My back with is around a size small... And I just can't figure it out... So how should I start this? More increases in the front? Thanks in advance. Everything I am is around a small to extra small apart from my chest if I follow your table and I just can't find anything that fits me and I do love me a good sweater to pull over my head. Thanks in advance
Hi Pandora, That is a bit challenging indeed. I would recommend one of two things. 1. Start with a larger yoke, so you're neck opening would be wider but then once you get the arm holes done you can do some decrease rows below the bust area to taper the sweater in a bit if you want a more fitted look. Then you could go back and crochet some decrease rows for the neck opening to bring the neck hole in a bit. OR 2. Start with your appropriate head circumference for your neck opening - (if you are creating a pullover and not a cardigan) and then use some increases in the front for your chest until you've created enough row to close off your armholes. Then from there you can do some decrease rows to taper in the body of the sweater. The first option will give you a little bit of a baggier look up top where as option 2 will create a more fitted-to-you look overall. Hope this all makes sense! Keep me posted on how you make out! 👍
I think I understand. So if I use option two. I should do a bit more of those increases in the front than in the back? And then decreases once I get past it. Thanks anyway for the response.. it's been challenging to find clothes. So I was hoping making my sweaters would avoid the chesttent
Oh my goodness, this is so confused, don’t you think it will be easier if you do it by sizes for example a small size this is how much you have to crochet a large size. This is how much you need to crochet if you’re a little bit thicker, or a little bit thinner than you go down in size or open size, but all these numbers, and how to measure it, and what shoulder length what it’s so complicated
Hi Mia, Sorry you found this confusing... It's intended so that you can create your own sizes by understanding what length of starting chains you need based on your own measurements. Because everyone can have a different tension when they crochet, it would not be useful to say for example : "chain 10 for a size small". Some people that chain tightly would have a problem because "10" would not be enough and those that chain too loose would have a problem with 10 being too many. I am hoping for everyone, that by learning to chain up to the length of your specific size, it will give you freedom to create ANY size. Hope that makes a little more sense? I'd be happy to give you more pointers if you are working on something specific? Let me know and I'll be happy to make it a little clearer for you. 👍

Very informative. If you do increases ever other round, do you need to double the number of stitches added on those rounds?
Hi Helen! No need for extra increases. We increase every other round so that your shape stays round and smooth. Hope that makes sense.
Hi. I hope you dont mind but i do have a question. How do we determine the shoulder part? 3 parts in back 3 parts in front. But the shoulder part am a bit lost. Kindly help me out. Thank you
Do yo have a tutorial for a round yoke cardigan ? Your tutorial is very helpful
I am actually working on a Round yoke cardigan project and hope to have it up by Spring. You may want to have a peek at this Angel cloak design which is similar except that you would have to stop when you are ready to create your arm holes but the principle would be the same. ruclips.net/video/QeFt3kjgRG8/видео.html

What if the yoke reached already the measurement needed to connect for the arm. The problem is the person who will be wearing it is on the big side and it does not reach the other side. How many stitches do i need to do for it to reach the other side? Or is that the right thing to do?
I have a question for the opening of the yoke when you start making your chains. For the square and round yoke.. for this one you mentioned to use the circumference of the head of the person to determine the size of the yoke for it to enter the person's head.. shouldn't that also apply to the rectangle & square yoke?
I used yure measurements for the neck and they all come too small for it to fit on the person's head.. shouldn't we use the measurements of the head for the square yoke too?
Oh yes. You are absolutely right. In my example, I was creating a cardigan which had an opening in the front therefore, getting it over the head was not an issue, but I would use the back of neck measurement for the square yolk and perhaps add 1/3 of that measurement on top of it to allow for, the Head to go through. Give that a go and let me know how it turns out. Thanks for bringing this up.👍
thank you so much, very useful tutorial :) if wanting to have a ribbed band at top part of neck, does that change the way it is done or no?
Hi Debbie. Not at all. I like to go in at the end and add the ribbing sometimes so I can "fluff" up the collar a bit:)
Hi thank u fa the beautiful explanation..but I do have a que!..is the size chart of raglan same for round yoke too?.. for babies and kids..
Hi Gladi, if you are looking at the sizing charts on the website there is one specifically for kids and one for adults. The technique would be the same. Hope that helps!
@@TheStitchSessions thank you for replying..tat wud help me much..🙂
How many stiches for back sleeves and front
We will Keep?
Any formula?
Hi Priya, I'm not quite sure of the question. The video explains how to create your arm holes once you've reached your desired chest measurement if that's what you are asking?
Hello again, would you please also make this for an A line pear shaped woman? Thanks so much ❣️
Hi Della, You mean you'd like to see it flare out as we wore our way down? I will put that on my list for a future tutorial.👍
@@TheStitchSessions yes to accommodate women with hips, thanks
On the arm holes do we double crochet or chain three
It's up to you. If you feel th measurement around the chest is good but find that the arm opening might still be too snug then you could chain 2 or 3 to give you some ease. If the opening is fine then I would go ahead and just double crochet as usual. Hope that makes sense. :)
Bonjour.
Un grand merci pour ce tutoriel. Je vous regarde de France j'ai compris les grandes lignes je vais donc pouvoir essayer.
En ce sui me concerne personnellement je trouve dommage que votre vidéo n'offre pas la possibilité d'avoir les sous-titres dans une autre langue. Pour moi il s'agirait du français. Bien heureusement que je comprends l'anglais hors mis ce petit problème, vous êtes parfaite dans vos explications.
Thank you 😉😘
Bonjour Francoise et merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires adorables. Je ne parle pas Francais Je parle un petite peu de français mais j'ai pu te comprendre aussi. 😊 Merci Merci!
@@TheStitchSessions 😍😘
I have a question would the same apply for like off one shoulder ?
Hi! Yes it would. You would begin with a larger "neck opening and continue with the same method. 😎
Hi hun do you have a chart for ladies for this
Hi Wendy, You can find the women's sizing chart here: www.crochetcrafty.com/pdf/Womens-Measurements-Sizing-Chart.pdf
Have fun!
Can you give more tips on how to soften the circle? Or if you have already can you link to the video please. Thank you
Oh yes! I have talked about it during some of my project tutorials but that its a brilliant idea to create a lesson focussed on that. Will do very shortly! Stay tuned!
Thank you. Very good lesson and explanation how to construct a round yoke.
@@lenaraullo5263 Thank you so much. So happy you found it useful!
Very good tutorial, thank you
@@judegalligan7985 Wonderful! Glad you find it helpful!
Can this be a men yoke to
Yes you can use the same method. Just adjust to their measurements:)
Amazing lesson
Why dont you crochet a yoke with us or a complete sweater ?? Thank you lol
Hi Avelina! I have actually created a round yoke project and you can check that out here: ruclips.net/video/-wuNOmpntoM/видео.html
Enjoy!
@@TheStitchSessions thank you so much for your reply .but.i think I am seeing a yoke for a kids sweater ? I am not sure .can you please confirm,? Thank you again
I chain 102 stitches the first part confused me do I double crochet until I have 10 double crochets and increase on the 11 crochet when I slip stitch do I chain three do a double crochet into the stitch I slip stitch into
Hi Ruben
What you want to do is try to stitch in multiples of 10 if you can. Whatever your chain number you have make sure to divide it by 10 so you know where to place your increases. In your example you have 102 chains do let's leave those 2 extra chains for a moment so you just have 100. Divide that by 10 and you have 10. So you would increase into every 10th stitch in the first round.
If you had 150 chains, for example, you would divide that by 10 and you'd get 15 therefore you would increase into every 15th stitch. You always want to have 10 "sections" between your increases. So in the next round you'd increase into every 16th st, and round 3 you would increase into every 17th st etc.
Hope that makes sense?
Also once you slip st and chain 3, do not go back into the slip st as usually your chain 3 will count as a double crochet.
Hope that's clarified some things for you. Please let me know if you have any other question and I'll be happy to help. Good luck!
In the chain do I start off double crochet then start on my increase row
@@rubenvasquez9881 It would be the same approach. You could go either way by doing an increase row for that first one after forming the armholes. Otherwise there should be no increases now as you form the body of the cardigan or sweater.👍
Do we increase two stitches in the 10 loop
@@rubenvasquez9881 yes that's an increase.
How do you know how many chains you need for sleeves
Once you know the length of your arm, then you would chain until you reach that length if you are working your sleeve lengthwise. The number of chains may vary from one stitcher to the next depending on how tightly or loosely you stitch. Hope that helps!
Ty for this video, it was well made. I have a question about the sleeves also. I'll be working them in the round from the arm hole made. Do you have a system for how to decrease so you don't end up with a huge cuff?
How do I crochet the arm holes
Hi Ruben, I explain it in the video and you can also watch an example here on this round yoke project I have previously done.

Hope this helps!
Ma'am I'm confused now I'm at the part where you said if you increase from 50 to 60 than I'll have to place an increase at every 5th stitch but you just wrote on the paper each row increase by ten. I started a yoke and I'm doing split single crochet and I'm on the third row and it's already rippling like ruffles. And I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to do that so I'm wondering is it because I'm doing split single crochet instead of double crochet? And I'm also confused on this saying now I have to increase every fifth stitch I thought each row only increasing only ten each row.
I'm thinking I shincrease every other round
Hi Ashley, yes every round that you increase will increase by 10 stitches. For example 50 stitches divided by 10 = 5 and that is why we increase into every 5th stitch. (1 extra st in these 10 increase spots will give us an additional 10 sts which will = 60 in total) . So if you are not increasing in the next round you will still have 60 stitches. Into the following round we will divide 60 by 10 increase points which will give us 6. That means that you will place an increase into every 6th stitch which will bring your total to 70 sts. This way you are always increasing 10 times in each round. Hopefully that makes sense?
Now, the fact that your work is rippling could be that your gauge is tight. The split single crochet stitch should still work with this method. If you are generally a tight crocheter, I recommend using a larger hook size to help your work sit a little more relaxed. Let me know if this is a little clearer for you. I'd be happy to answer any further questions to help you along.

So what I ended doing was the four point Raglan style which seems to work great I saw a video where the person had all four sides equal stitch count which I struggled alot to get it to fit right because the two sleeve sides were huge so I took half of it apart and decreased every 9 stitchs which shrunk up that part enough that by the time I made the underarm portion it curved slightly around my shoulder. If I was to do this raglan style again next time the sides that are the shoulder sleeve portion will not be equal to the front and back. I guess it's all trial and error cause I really didn't know what I was doing but the round yoke I definitely want to try that again. Thank you for messaging back and being so helpful with your videos.
@@LionandLamb316 Hi Ashley, I'm glad you were able to work it out. Yes, the perfectly square yoke sometimes doesn't sit right and that's why a rectangular one will give you a better fit depending on the body type. Keep me posted on how it continued to come along.
Sincerely,

Hey.. I'm like a large chested woman, everything is size small, apart from my chest... So when I make a yolk.. my back looks like I have wings... If I follow the armholes... My boobs do not fit at all... So my chest is like 33 inches en my armhole dept is like 4 and a half inches... My back with is around a size small... And I just can't figure it out... So how should I start this? More increases in the front?
Thanks in advance.
Everything I am is around a small to extra small apart from my chest if I follow your table and I just can't find anything that fits me and I do love me a good sweater to pull over my head. Thanks in advance
With the chest I went all around my back... The with is like 18 inches
Hi Pandora, That is a bit challenging indeed. I would recommend one of two things.
1. Start with a larger yoke, so you're neck opening would be wider but then once you get the arm holes done you can do some decrease rows below the bust area to taper the sweater in a bit if you want a more fitted look. Then you could go back and crochet some decrease rows for the neck opening to bring the neck hole in a bit.
OR
2. Start with your appropriate head circumference for your neck opening - (if you are creating a pullover and not a cardigan) and then use some increases in the front for your chest until you've created enough row to close off your armholes. Then from there you can do some decrease rows to taper in the body of the sweater.
The first option will give you a little bit of a baggier look up top where as option 2 will create a more fitted-to-you look overall.
Hope this all makes sense! Keep me posted on how you make out!
👍
I think I understand. So if I use option two. I should do a bit more of those increases in the front than in the back?
And then decreases once I get past it. Thanks anyway for the response.. it's been challenging to find clothes. So I was hoping making my sweaters would avoid the chesttent
@@HarmoniusLife Good luck with the project and please do keep me posted on how you make out! 👍

Thank you!
Oh my goodness, this is so confused, don’t you think it will be easier if you do it by sizes for example a small size this is how much you have to crochet a large size. This is how much you need to crochet if you’re a little bit thicker, or a little bit thinner than you go down in size or open size, but all these numbers, and how to measure it, and what shoulder length what it’s so complicated
Hi Mia, Sorry you found this confusing... It's intended so that you can create your own sizes by understanding what length of starting chains you need based on your own measurements.
Because everyone can have a different tension when they crochet, it would not be useful to say for example : "chain 10 for a size small". Some people that chain tightly would have a problem because "10" would not be enough and those that chain too loose would have a problem with 10 being too many. I am hoping for everyone, that by learning to chain up to the length of your specific size, it will give you freedom to create ANY size.
Hope that makes a little more sense? I'd be happy to give you more pointers if you are working on something specific? Let me know and I'll be happy to make it a little clearer for you. 👍
No. Because tension, gauge, hook size, yarn weight, etc effect the outcome.
@@lizabethmccool2990 That's right.
