This video presents multiple scenarios for combining several stitch patterns into the same project, including how to handle gauge differences between the stitch patterns. There is also an explanation for how to handle patterns with the same gauge, but which have different multiples, resulting in different stitch counts. Differences in stitch gauge as well as differences in row gauge are discussed.
