Question:

When knitting, if you use the same needles and yarn, will your gauge be the same?

I don't know if gauge is the right word here, but basically I am knitting a sampler afghan and am using the same size needles and the same yarn, but making 12 in squares in different patternsI'm just wondering if instead of measuring out the 12 inches I could just do like 60 rows or somethingWhen I measure the squares, it's kind of hard to measure right I think, because there's so much give in the yarnSo basically, are 60 rows knit in different patterns the same length?

Your question is If I cast on a number of stitches and knit a number of rows in Stitch Pattern A, will the same number of stitches and the same number of rows provide a block of the same size if I knit it in Stitch Pattern B? Is that right? If so, the answer is probably not For example, if Stitch Pattern A is stockinette and Stitch Pattern B is 1 x 1 rib, the block knit in Stitch Pattern B will be just over half as wide as the block knit in Stitch Pattern AIf you knit some blocks in a cabled pattern, they will be narrower than the same number of stitches knit in stockinetteTwo different cable patterns over the same number of stitches will usually produce different widths of fabric In order to have all of your blocks come out 12 square, you will need to measure your gauge in the stitch pattern you want to use, then determine the number of stitches to cast on to produce 12 in width in that patternThen you can knit until the length is 12.
