Question 1200700: When you knit something using a pattern, each line of the pattern contains a stitch count. Depending on the weight of the yarn you want to use to make the project, you can use the number of stitches to calculate how much yarn you need to finish your project.
The table below gives the number of inches per stitch for the basic weights of yarn you will find at a store:
Weight : Inches Per Stitch
Fingering : 1 in.
DK : 1.5 in.
Worsted : 1.8 in.
Bulky1 : 2.5in.
Bulky2 : 2.75 in.
Super Bulky : 7.5 in.
Given that you want to use Worsted weight of yarn with 1.8 inches per stitch, and your pattern calls for 796 stitches, answer the following questions:
1) What is the number of inches of yarn that you will need?
The store you are at only has yarn lengths given in yards, and there are 36 in/yd
2) What is the number of yards of yarn you will need for your project?
