Hi all.. I have several bookmark patterns that call for a size 3 needle.. I don't have one on hand and I want to make some to sell to make extra money since things are still tough for me and my BF.. Can I use a size 2 or a size 4? Any ideas on this?? Portia/California
Knitters often find they need to use a different size needle to get the gauge they want. Try the size 2 if you think you knit loosely or the size 4 if you think you knit tightly. Or try both to see which gives the best results.
Thanks I am sure it doesn't mater since I knit lose and I appreciate any ideas anyone gives me.. Going to try it out and let you know.. Portia/California
If you are knitting a sweater and it comes out 10% too big or too small, you have a problem. But when knitting a bookmark, or even a throw, if the size is not exact, it really does not matter. So go with the needles you have.
