Gauge is a unit of measurement that determines the needles’ density on a sewing machine. The number of needles in an English inch, equal to 2.54 cm. The higher the gauge, the finer the knit and the better the dexterity.
Let’s illustrate this with two models of the Wedze baby hat:
The WARM baby ski/sledging hat has a gauge of 7.
The baby Peruvian ski/sledging beanie hat has a gauge of 12.
The WARM baby ski/sledging hat has a thicker knit.
