You can certainly do a k2, p2 ribbing if want; it looks the exact same except the ribbing as I wrote it lines up slightly better with the twisted stitches (that's why I wrote it slightly offset, you're correct that it's the same as a k2, p2 at heart). Hope that helps! :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-6758372531631589892021-10-09T23:02:50.615-07:002021-10-09T23:02:50.615-07:00Me alegro que te guste el sombrero.

Here we have 12 stitches per 4 inches, and we cast on 80 stitches. <br /><br />Therefore if we perform (80/12)x4, we'll know how wide in inches the project is at the cast on. Since (80/12)x4 is 26.6666, that's how wide it is.<br /><br />Once we know that, we can figure out how to adapt it for a different yarn weight. Assuming that your yarn is 22 stitches per 4 inches, then we can divide our width (26.666) by 4 and then times that value by 22 in order to determine how many stitches we need in the different yarn weight. In this case, 26.6666/4x22 = 146. Therefore you need to cast on 146 stitches in order to work this pattern in a yarn weight of 22 stitches per 4 inches.<br /><br />All of that being said, I'm no longer knitting and this isn't a pattern I feel comfortable rewriting for a different yarn weight without being able to test it, so I can't help you with the conversion of the pattern any more than that.<br /><br />Good luck!Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-60844778025335958342021-08-17T23:25:11.938-07:002021-08-17T23:25:11.938-07:00Hi Gretchen we do not get yarns here that use 10.5...Hi Gretchen we do not get yarns here that use 10.5 and 11 needles so how many stitches would I need for the yarn that works with Size 5 and 6 needles.

Anyway, I actually think that you could use that yarn and the recommended needles (looks like a US 9 for the main pattern and probably US 7 or 8 for the ribbing) and this pattern, written exactly as is, and produce something that would be just about right for a 5 year old! Of course, I can't *guarantee* success but if like the pattern and are willing to take the risk I think it would probably be worth it! :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-53834912335432659172018-05-25T10:05:12.755-07:002018-05-25T10:05:12.755-07:00Hi Gretchen!

The yarn I have and I was hoping to use is a lot thinner than the one you suggested (Heartland medium - 251yd/230m/5oz, Lion Brand).<br />Is it all (size and yarn) too different that it's better just try another pattern instead?<br />Thank you!!Cristiane Izidoronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-79779922931890042242017-12-11T00:29:28.561-08:002017-12-11T00:29:28.561-08:00Yyyyyyaaaaayyyyy I'm so happy you're happy...Yyyyyyaaaaayyyyy I'm so happy you're happy!
