I bought the wrong ply wool , I needed 300gms of 4 ply but bought 400 gms of 3 ply insteadIt's for a baby blanket and the pattern says to use a size 4.00 mm crochet hookShould I use a different size hook ?Thank you.
What's on the roof for shingles? That makes a difference in the answerDon't use 1/4 drywall ever on a ceiling.Ideally it would have a ridge vent along the peak,then use rigid foam insulation board with reflective surface 1/2'' or more on the rafters surface, then sheetrock(1/2) on that.That leaves a pocket for hot air to escape the ridgeAlso some soffit vents outside will complete the project.
You need ventilation from the eves to the peak between the ceiling and the roof in order to exhaust the heated air outsideThen you could put foam board on the joists and 1/2 inch sheetrock on top of thatI would use 4inch foam board.
Uhhmmmm,thats not a guest houseThat is a machine/garden tools shed.
You need a ridge vent or a motorized gable vent to get the trapped heat outWith a ridge vent you could furr out the space between the roof and the new ceiling with 2 x 4's nailed to the bare boards and 2 x 4 nailers to the sides of the beamsA four inch space would be enough for foam heat channels behind R-13 insulationI would heed the advice about not using drywall hereSomething like tongue and groove spruce would be betterYou don't mention the roof type but if possible solar reflective shingles would help quite a bit as wellGood luck with your project.
Okay, I'm guessing that you are in the UK, even though Yahoo! did not indicate that on your questionIf I'm wrong, this answer won't make senseThe Peter Pan 3-ply (tension: 34 sts 42 rows)has 50 percent more yardage than does the Peter Pan 4-ply (tension: 28 sts 36 rows)Therefore, it's 2/3 the size of the 4-plyYou would need a hook that's 3.00 mm or thereabouts to get a fabric that's the same density, although it will be lighter in weightAlso, the stitches and therefore the blanket will be smallerYou have several options: 1Return the 3-ply yarn and get 4-ply yarnThen you can use the hook that gives you the tension called for in your pattern (whether it's the 4.00 mm hook is another question)2Use the 3-ply yarn with a smaller hook and produce a smaller blanket3Use the 3-ply yarn with a smaller hook, add on approximately 50 percent more chains in the starting chain, and make a blanket that's close to the original sizeIt wil, of course, take about twice as long to crochet the same size with the smaller yarn and smaller hook 4Use two strands of the 3-ply yarn with a 4.00 hook and your original directionsThe resulting blanket will be a bit denser and a tad larger than the original, but not muchAnd you have plenty of the yarn, so you could do this without running out of yarnWhat would I do? If it's convenient to do so, I'd return the yarn and get the right thingIf it's inconvenient to do that, I'd double the yarn and make the heavier blanket, assuming the stitch pattern and the fabric look good in the doubled yarn, on the theory that the blanket will be warmer and that's a good thingYou'll have to decide what will work for you.
