Gauge Swatch
Before starting your project, it’s best to make a gauge swatch. This step ensures your tension and stitch count match the pattern’s specifications, which is especially important if the recommended yarn is unavailable or if you’re substituting with another option. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for the proper fit.
You can adjust your crochet hook size, or even switch hook style or brand, to help meet gauge. Keep in mind that not all Worsted Weight #4 yarns are identical—thickness, drape, and softness can vary between brands.
For your swatch, I recommend beginning a baby hat and checking your gauge after a few rounds. Alternatively, you can make a flat swatch: work a foundation row of 12 hdc and continue in hdc rows until you have a square. If you have too many stitches, move up to a larger hook. If you have too few, try a smaller hook. You can also slightly adjust by pulling up on your stitches to lengthen them or tightening your tension to shorten them.
I’ve also included some yarn recommendations that make excellent substitutes.
