Knitting Advice Please

#Post

I have a 4ply pattern for a child that would be brilliant in double knitting.
Is there a 'rule of thumb' or recipe/guide to upgrade to the double knit please?
Would appreciate any advice on this. Thankyou in advance.

If you are on Facebook join the NZ and Oz knitting group. They are very helpful with questions like this.

One way - if it is a lacy pattern work out the number of stitches per repeat of pattern, then find a DK pattern similar but switch the pattern stitches. Check the basic DK pattern to see if more or less sts required when doing a fancy lace or cable stitched pattern.
Also ask Mr G for free patterns with a lacy or cable stitch [whichever you have], you may find something online which is the same.
Can also find swatches of many fancy stitches online for free.
