Gauge in any pattern is a sample you make to verify that your tension, hook, stitches, match up to the ones used in the pattern. If it doesn't match, then you make adjustments to have your gauge match that given in the pattern.
Gauge is given generally as so many stitches in an inch, or so many rows in an inch. Generally, you crochet (or knit) a sample longer and higher than 4 inches, so that you can measure in the middle of the swatch and calculate your average stitch or row per inch.
