If you want to knit to 4,5 mm gauge machine, I share a gauge converter. Pattern Conversions Between Machine Gauges For example, say we’re making a hat and the bulky pattern says to cast on 80 stitches. We would simply multiply 80 (the number of stitches in the written pattern) by 9 (the gauge of the machine for which the pattern was written). That gives us a result of 720. Now we divide that result of 720 by 4.5 (the gauge of the standard machine on which we wish to make the hat). We get a result of 160 stitches to cast on. 80x9=720. 720÷4.5=160. You may be looking at that formula, and already know that the difference between the bulky and standard gauge machines is 2:1. After all, 4.5mm is half of 9mm. You would be correct. Now let’s say you wanted to make the same pattern on the 6.5mm mid-gauge machine. Easy enough! 80x9=720. 720÷6.5=110.77. Uh-oh. That didn’t come out even. In this case we would round up to 111 stitches. If you happen to have a 7mm mid-gauge machine, the formula is the same: 80x9=720. 720÷7=102.85, so you would casts on 103 stitches. You would then also use this formula to calculate the number of rows to knit in any given pattern. The reverse also works if you want to convert a pattern written for the standard gauge machine to a larger gauge machine: 160x4.5=720. 720÷9=80. So this pattern can be used by 4,5 mm, 6,5 mm, 7,5 mm gauge knitting machines. Thank you - please click below to see my entire hand made collection: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Stileika ©Stileika.
