I have a lovely cardi pattern in 4 ply which only goes up to a 22 chest. Anyone know how or if I can use dk wool and make it bigger?

Hi Janey, You can knit a 4ply pattern with Dk wool to make the garment come out bigger but you must use Dk needles ie 3.25mm and 4mm. If you did a tension square it would give you a good idea how much bigger your garment would come out
