Knitting and Crochet Charts
Yarn labels, needle sizes and pattern gauges use several overlapping systems, from US needle numbers to Australian ply. These charts line them up so you can choose a substitute yarn, pick the right needles, or work out what an old pattern means.

Before you start a project
- Match the pattern's gauge, not just the yarn weight name. Two "worsted" yarns can knit up differently.
- Swatch with the needle size the pattern suggests, then adjust.
- Buy enough yarn from one dye lot; lots can differ slightly in color.
