gauge
Explanation:
Jogo - n.º de agulhas por cm, por exemplo

Refers to the needles per measured length (e.g., per inch) in the knitting machine. It reflects the fineness and coarseness of of knitted cloth. The higher the gauge number of the machine, the finer the fabric. It can be a bit confusing because the term gauge can refer to different unit lengths in different types of knitted fabrics. (p. 124)

que o 1x1 rib de jogo idêntico (número de agulhas por cm),
necessitando também de fio mais fino e de melhor
qualidade.
