i have a baby blanket pattern that i think would make a great throw for a couch (kinda decor-ish)... anyhow, of course it calls for baby yarn, 19 oz, measures 34X46 and done in H...


what if i use some of this LionBrand Chunky USA i have recently acquired at Michael's clearance???
i only have 24 oz.
maybe a J-K-M???
what will happen?
(that sounds dumb, doesn't it:p )
i mean, will it be quite a bit larger just because of the hook size - if so, does this also mean that i will be using more yarn? or not because of the size difference in the yarn itself.....?

i've never attempted to "change" a pattern before - (i'm not that good yet:eek )
anyhow, thanks a bunch!!:fluffy

yes it would make it bigger because your using a bigger hook and yes would end up needing more yarn...

I almost always buy at least one more skein of yarn (or of each color, if there are more than one) than what a pattern calls for. That way, if I need it I have it, and if I don't, then I can use it for something else! :cheer
