Best Answer

The best thing to do is to look at the length to weight conversion, usually found on the ball band. Most patterns quote it too. Find a yarn with a similar length/weight. Then work a test swatch and measure carefully. Change your hook/needle size until you can match the gauge given on the pattern. Keep note of any changes you make, and keep checking the measurements as you proceed with the work.
