Can I use the 4-ply yarn that we have here in the US?
Nice simple pattern, but 8 inches ended up being way too long for my liking. The end of the hat poofs out too far at the back of my 5 year old's head :( Thinking about unstitching it all and starting again, but it took so much more than the 2-3 hour estimate that I'm a bit discouraged.
Worsted Weight is equivalent to 8ply
I would like to know if worsted wool is the same as 4 ply which we get here in South Africa. I have never seen worsted wool.
this needs a pic
