I am making a sweater for my grand daughter that has a horse pattern in itThe instructions are for a size 6 but I need a size 4I tried to cut the number of stitches down but the pattern (tho it fits) takes up to much room on the backI would like to try either a smaller set of needles or a lighter weight of yarnwould this alter the shaping of the sweater?
What insulation you do mean electric or heat?? electric: better is fiberglass for cellulose may attract water and then you you have a problemheat: cellulose may attract water fiberglass alsoCellulose is biologic and may be destructed by bacteriasFiberglass is loose and will be fastened by the time and will loose by that the insulationfactor How it is with Styropor ??

It would work for a small difference in size that only needed 1 size needle changeMore than 1 needle size may make the fabric stiffTry knitting a piece in your yarn and see if you life the resultYou would also need to consider whether the proportions need changing at the neck and armholeIt would be better to find a pattern in a finer yarn, to get the extra stitches, and put your horse pattern on the back of that.
