4ply is NOT a yarn weight. Many 4ply yarns in the US are worsted weight. DK is a lighter yarn weight.

Can you knit a 4ply pattern with dk yarn?

If you want your project to be the same size as the directions say, then you need to use the same weight (or thickness) of yarn (rather than number of plies). Sometimes you can get the same gauge by using a bigger or smaller hook, but that doesn't always work.


How do you convert an 8ply chemo hat pattern to crochet in 4ply cotton yarn for summer?

Try making a sample square in the new yarn, using 28 stitches for every 22 in the original. See how the size compares with the gauge on the pattern, and adjust if necessary. You may also need to put in a few extra rows to achieve the necessary length. Alternatively there are lots of free patterns on the web, try Bev's Country Cottage.
