Non bulky sweater?

ServingGrace · 03-11-2017, 08:16 AM

Is it possible to make a hooded type sweater with non buy yarn? All the patterns I can find are for bully yarn. I believe I am working with eight gauge needles and yarn that is seven stitches per inch. I'm not sure where all the labels went as it is some hand me down wool. I would love to make sweaters for my kids but I'm not sure if it will work out with the yarn I have. Would non bulky yarn be better for a cardigan type sweater instead?

You can totally do a non bulky hoodie. Let me see if I can find a pattern.

This one seems to be the correct guage. You could fairly easily change the closure.
