Purloining my own show notes from last year when I talked about subbing a different yarn that is not the same gauge: How to substitute yarn of a different gauge in a pattern. A little bit of math is involved, but it's not too difficult.
Pattern gauge - 4 sts per inch
Personal gauge - 4.5 - 5 sts per inch
Stitches at the bust to get desired size, which in this case for me is 34:
x sts/34" = 5sts/1"
x = 34*5
x = 170 sts
This will be the number of stitches needed across bust to get the desired 34" bust measurement. Next, look through the pattern to find which size gives that number of stitches at the bust. Use the numbers for that size in order to get the size I want.

Take # 371 of this episode after technical difficulties. It reminded me of the episode of The West Wing where President Bartlett could not successfully pre-record his weekly radio address. In the end, he finally got through it live. Turns out, the same strategy worked for me today and I was able to record the rest of the episode in one take and did not need to edit much! Join me as a project reaches a roadblock, a long languishing project sees the light of day again, and I swatch for upcoming projects. My co-hosts make a return appearance on the show at the very end. Thank you! Thank you to Jasmin and Gigi of the Knitmore Girls Podcast for the recent shoutout And many thanks to Jen of the Down Cellar Studio Podcast and YouTube channel for inviting me to join her for a Crafty Chat on her channel!

| 11 Jul 2013 | Commuter Knitter - Episode 59 - Measure Twice Cut Once | 00:47:26 | |
And So Are You shawl for Camp Loopy Project Number 1 Road Maps How to substitute yarn of a different gauge in a pattern. A little bit of math is involved, but it's not too difficult. Pattern gauge - 4 sts per inch Personal gauge - 4.5 - 5 sts per inch Stitches at the bust to get desired size, which in this case for me is 34: x sts/34" = 5sts/1" x = 34*5 x = 170 sts This will be the number of stitches needed across bust to get the desired 34" bust measurement. Next, look through the pattern to find which size gives that number of stitches at the bust. Use the numbers for that size in order to get the size I want. I did not mention during this episode, but my row gauge is almost the same as the suggested pattern gauge. However, since this is a top down sweater, I can adjust the rows up or down as needed to get the right length.
