In reply to Kathe Enright. I'm afraid I don't know off the top of my head. What I'd do is work up a swatch with each hook, and see what percentage difference between the two is, and use it to estimate the change in yarn quantity. But I'm not sure how accurate that method would be, I'm afraid! Hopefully of some help though

I like your website. You are very straight forth in both your written instructions and the pictures. Glad I found you.

My question – is there any way to find out how much more yarn I’ll need switching from a K hook to an I hook. I will be using the same yarn called out in the pattern (fingerling). I would like to make it the same size the pattern calls out so realize that I’ll need to increase the stitches. Using a K hook the pattern calls out for 1256 yards of yarn. Is there any way to determine the yardage using an I hook?

I’m novice enough to be dangerous but am not new to crocheting.
