Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

Hello all!

Right, I’ve got a difficult yarn substitution to make!

The pattern requires
classic elite blithe (25g/128yds) 18 stitches 24 rows =4” and the pattern calls for two strands to be knitted together - this yarn is 100% baby camel!

I can’t remember what size needles the pattern suggests but can any of you help with this substitution? Do I try and match this yarn or just match the tension and go with a yarn that doesn’t require me to knit two strands tog?

I’ve worked out that to get this yarn from the US it would cost 30 pounds minimum!!! It’s only for one little hat!!!

Thanking all you wise people in advance!

I’m thinking Sirdar Peru would be a good sub?

Yes i think it would be as well.

Check your tension on a wool that you like if its the same go for it. Remeber if its too small go for a size larger needle and if its too loose a smaller size is needed. A pattern is a suggestion and every suggestion like mine can be changed to suit your needs and make it individual.
