the different knitting stitches
Knitting question: Using a different size needle for a pattern, what do I do?
I have a pattern for size 8 needles. I would like to use it with size 6 needles. It says to cast on 30 stitches and knit for 14 inches. How can I modify this pattern for size 6 needles? (Please include the way you got the answer, for future reference in this situation)
Thanks!
Thanks so much! Ill vote you for best answer when its in voting and stuff
Your pattern should include the size of a block of a certain number of stitches. You should knit a swatch of the pattern - a block about 3 or 4 inches by 3 or 4 inches. Then you can measure the guage and see how many stitches you are knitting to the inch. Then you can determine how many stitches to add to bring it to the correct size. So if your pattern says that it should knit 10 stitches to an inch and if you use size 6 needles you get 12 stitches to the inch then you add 2 stitches for each 10. You should always knit a swatch and test your guage, even if you are using the same size needles that are in the instructions because the guage can vary based on tension and other factors.
