Hi everybody
I think i kind of already know the answer to this question, but I was wondering...suppose you have a sweater pattern that requires 1400 yards of worsted weight yarn. Now suppose you would like to knit the same sweater using a chunky weight yarn that's say 3 stitches to the inch.
Would you use more or less yarn of the chunky yarn, and how do you determine how much more or less?
I recently got a good deal on some chunky weight yarn that I would like to knit a cardigan out of, but there were only ten balls available of the color I chose. There is 120 yards per ball, so that gives me approximately 1200 yards of yarn. THink I can swing it? It might be possible, I think... I would like to make a cardigan with about a 40" bust.
