Substituting yarn

[Aggie S.]

I have 2 skeins of Patons Decor, medium wt. (4). If I double it. will it be heavy enough to substitute for Wool Ease Bulky? I want to do the Irish Hiking cap http://learningmywaythrough.wordpres...sh-hiking-hat/
TIA!

What does the guage on the Patons Decor say for needle size? Looking at the picture the yarn doesn't look all that bulky (at least IMHO size 8 needles is not that bulky) and the pattern has no guage. I hate to say it, but you may have to knit the band and see how it fits your head....
