well, I'm not a doctor or anything, but i have had more stitches then you can shake a stick at at many different points. And i usually sit up and watch whenever i can. judging by all the scares, its usually varies from about 1/8 of an inch to just a smidge over that. I'm guessing you could get them a little tighter depending on the stress on the location of the wound, but much closer you ride the risk of weaking the skin due to all the holes. overall, id'e stick with 1/8. and please be sure your equipment's steril and your not piercing any veins. I'm assuming that'd be rather bad.

How many stitches for knitting needle number 8 per inch?
The number of stitches you need per inch depends on the type of fabric you are sewing. The weight, thickness and type of fabric sewn will determine the stitch length you use. In a quilt, you will have fewer stitches, such a six or eight per inch. For a seam on clothing, a medium weight fabric will use 10 - 12 stitches, for heavier fabrics, 8 -10 will work better. In knitting and crochet, the stitches per inch are determined by the size of your needles, the tension you use when working the stitches, and the weight of the yarn or thread. The pattern you use will specify the stitches and needles you need, called the gauge.

How can you measure knit fabric?
You use a gauge or tape measure and count how many stitches per inch.It may not be a whole number, though.Example:You may have 4 1/2 stitches per inch. If you wanted to know how many stitches you needed to cast on for the desired measurement, you would multiply the number of stitches per inch by the number of inches you needed.Example II:If you neede a garment to finish at 40 inches, you would be making two pieces, with each being 20 inches.Example III:So if you had 4 1/2 inches per stitc, you would multiply this by 20 inches and you would need to cast on 90 stitches, adding 2 stitches for sewing so a total of 92 stitches for each side. This would be a total of 92 stitches per side.
How many inches are 44 stiches in knitting?
That depends on your gauge. I have a pair of socks on my needles right now. My gauge for these socks is 11 stitches per inch. 44 stitches in that gauge would be 4 inches. (44/11) I also have a sweater on another set of needles. The gauge for that sweater is five stitches to the inch. 44 stitches in that gauge would be 8.8 inches. (44/5) It's a big difference.
What size knitting needles are needed for 5 stitches to one inch using 8 ply?
I would say to first check what the label on the yarn ays for your project. However I know sometimes that isnt possible, so you have to make do. I would start with a size 5 knitting needles. First make a gauge swatch I knit about 20 stitches and about 15 to 20 rows, the measure how many stitches per inch I have. Depending on if your a tight or loose knitter you might have to go up or down a size or two. In general the smaller a needle is the more stitches per inch you can make, the larger a needle is the less stitches.

How many single crochet stitches with a 5.5ml hook in a size 7.5 hat?
It depends on the size of yarn you're using (thicker less stitches and thin more stitches) and what your crochet tension is (gauge). Usually a pattern will indicate how many stiches should be in an inch. If not, single crochet an inch or two with the hook and yarn you intend to use and then measure an inch and count how many stiches are in that inch. If your pattern does not have a gauge for a size 7.5 hat, I'd use your 1 inch crocheted gauge square to measure around and up a size 7.5 hat you already know fits and use multiplication from those results to determine stiches per row and how many rows. If you're talking size
