I've never knitted anything with a yarn or needles different from what they suggest, so I've never even checked gauge. That totally makes sense. Thanks! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/knitters-i-need-yarn-conversion-info#post-1856722 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:43:28 +0000 RsMom 1856722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You will have to compare the gauge in the pattern to the gauge on the yarn you want to use. If the pattern says 4 stitches per inch but the yarn you want to use says that it does 2 stitches per inch, it will likely take about half of the yarn. Not sure if this makes sense, but happy knitting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/knitters-i-need-yarn-conversion-info#post-1856720 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:42:23 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1856720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im a crocheter so a little different but ralvery.com is a great sitw for both knitters and crocheters You can talk with others as well as get free patterns and such </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/knitters-i-need-yarn-conversion-info#post-1856715 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:40:52 +0000 Espion 1856715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/islandgirlloo/knit-tips-yarn-substitutions/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/islandgirlloo/knit-tips-yarn-substitutions/</a></p> <p>Check this board out...lots of good links to find what you are looking for!

I found a pattern I like (super easy, just garter stitch the whole way), but it's with normal weight yarn. I want to use bulky yarn on bigger needles. When trying to decide how many skeins I will need, is there an way to decide? I know I want need as many as the pattern calls for, since I'm using bigger yarn. </p>
