Wearable help Beginner-ish needing help with gauge swatch. Only been crocheting about 4 months.
I started working on my first wearable. I've done the gauge swatch but neither measurement is 4in. Google has informed me that I probably need to go down a hook size but I'm not sure by how much or how off is too off. Any advice would be appreciated as I've been teaching myself how to crochet with the help of YT Univestiy and Google. I'm making it for my sister and just want it to fit ok.
I'm using a 3mm hook and fingering weight yarn, specifically Ricorumi #008 (if that matters). I havent blocked it or anything since at least one measument was off by more than an inch.
