Works because: similar gauge (27 sts vs 26 sts) · same length per gram · different fibre – different feel.

Good to know

  • The gauge differs by 1.0 sts – knit a swatch and recalculate the stitch count, or the garment will come out the wrong size
  • A completely different fibre than in the pattern – expect a different feel, sheen and drape
