Use The Same Yarn Brands and Yarn for The Best Results

The idea of a knitting pattern is to replicate what someone else has made. So, to replicate it so it is the same, you need to do everything the same, this includes the materials and not just the stitches.

Yarn brands vary from brand to brand and the thickness of their yarns varies too, for example I find Hayfield Bonus DK slightly thicker than Stylecraft Special DK. I am not saying that one is right, or one is wrong, they are just slightly different in the thickness and when you knit with one of them, it will turn out slightly bigger or smaller.

If I have designed a tea cosy in Stylecraft Special DK and you knit it up in Hayfield Bonus DK, don't be surprised if it's a bit bigger.
