Patons "Carmen"

Good Morning everyone,

I posted a message a few days ago about knitting a cowl/hood from a fluffy yarn. I was out at Michael's and purchased the yarn I had seen previously. It is called "Carmen" by Patons. Here is the link:

just looked at the gauge and the Carmen shows:Tension 13 sts - 16 rows = 4" on 6.5 mm. needles I think I will try the pattern casting on 89 stitches, and the free pattern from Lionbrand that was mentioned in another post.

gauge shown for the yarn used for the pattern says:14 sts - 18 rows = 4" on 8 mm needles. Should I move up to a 7 mm. circular needle?

thanks...Linda

Thanks for the suggestions. I am using a 7 mm, and the cowl/hood looks great. The yarn is so soft and cuddly...

I would go to at least a 7mm needle. That is going to be gorgeous!

Higs, Katherine
