Have a neat pattern, but want to make sure of the gauge :D

Here’s the pattern, since you guys were wondering:
http://www.michaels.com/art/online/projectsheet?pid=25366&categoryid=32

It calls for the Moda Dea Tweedle Dee yarn, which is a bulky yarn, and the gauge is
16 sts = 4 inches, 20 rows = 4 inches on size 10.5 (6.5mm) needles…
But I don’t have Moda Dea Tweedle Dee yarn…

what I have is a bulky boucle yarn with the recommended needle size of 10 (6mm) and that is 13 sts= 4", 16 rows= 4".

What should I do to match the gauge that the pattern calls for (I want to make the size Small one, if that matters). Thanks! :smiley: :woot:

Cute pattern. Since the pattern calls for “any size needles to obtain gauge”, try knitting a gauge swatch with the size 10.5 needles. It may match up with what the pattern calls for. If that doesn’t work, go up (or down) a size needle until you get it right.

Thanks! I’m trying 4.5mm needles and that seems to match up. :smiley:
