The ZZ Twist yarn is fairly stretchy and I always measure gauge with a blocked swatch! So you may be right on target if you block your swatch 🙂

Good afternoon! I have swatched and swatched for gauge. I have no problem with the 12 sts = 4 inches but the shortest I can get is 12 sts x 7 rows in the zz twist before my gauge gets too narrow. Do you have any recommendations? I am so taken with this project and do not want to waste yarn and time making a big mistake. Thank you very much.

Yes I believe that’s exactly what you should do!

I am making this for my sister and she doesn’t want the twist in front. Should I crochet the front panel the same size as the back panel and just lay the two pieces flat on top of each other and sew them together leaving gaps for the neck and for the armholes? Thanks

Hi Kendra! So glad you’re trying the Swancho – your foundation chain measurement should align with the “length” measurement, so that first number listed. Hope this helps!

Hi!! I’m super excited to make this pattern!! I am still relatively new to crochet and this will be my second garment. I was wondering if you could clarify which is the “width” and “length.” For example I am starting to make the pattern in XS. I chained 82 and started to DC the first row. After finishing the first row it measured 26 inches which is the “length” measurement. I’m not sure if I should try and use a smaller hook or chain fewer to make it 19 inches across? Or am I confusing the length and width?

I hope this makes sense! Any help is appreciated!

I got your email with comments listed and see you have changed the “Abbreviations” to match the pattern – I thank you very much. Now I know that ‘blo’ means ‘back loop only’

In reading your pattern, you use the abbreviation “BLO” DC at the beginning or Row 2 for the Front and Back panels — but I do not see “BLO” in the list of abbreviations. Please explain what you mean by “BLO”.

Thank you in advance
Best regards, Kate
