Gauge Knit - I need help!

Cms not cams!!

The stitch looks like fisherman’s rib or half fisherman’s rib. Won’t look good in a tight tension - but not loose either. Depends on what thickness yarn you are thinking of too. Why not find a pattern in a similar stitch in the yarn you are thinking of and see what tension/gauge it uses over 4ins or 10 cams.

use the yarn you would like to use and knit a large square, maybe 6 x 6 inches. Use various needle sizes until you get the density and drape that you want. Then get a gauge square, 4 x 4 inches and carefully count the number of stitches and the number of rows

That top is a rib, yarn looks to be quite thick ie dk and the drape seems to be a cotton or bamboo blend. They want to know how many stitches and rows bear in mind that the jumper looks quite sloppy ie will get quite large when worn.

A commercial manufacturer will want to know what weight of garment you want. Fine, medium or heavy or they may express it as seasonal. Take a look at the websites of some quality brands e.g. John Smedley and Pringle for more information.

Kniy gauge isn't a magic formula, it is just how many stitches and rows there are to the inch. Why don't you find a jumper in a gauge you like, and count how many stitches and rows in a measured square of 4 inches by four (or 10cm by 10cm) ?

We can't measure the rows and stitches in a photograph for you!

I’ve no idea, but gauge is the number of stitches per inch.
