Even the same stitch produced in two different ways may produce a different gauge. Yarn weight is a factor; thicker yarns with less loft overall produce larger stitches than thinner yarns (reducing the number of stitches per width and length).

This forms a round ridge that projects outwards from the face of the fabric, and is used as a decorative detail. Tuck stitches are created by working in hand knitting by working into the stitch immediately below the next stitch waiting on the needle.
