I need to use US 13 circular needles bc I only have US15 in 16 inches. How would you recommend that I adjust the cast on for using smaller needles? I have knit a few cowls/scarfs to date but I have always followed the pattern exactly. I may purchase a set of interchangeable kneedles this week but I am not sure. Thank you for sharing your patterns.

Hello Nicole, for the US 13 needles – you could cast on 40 sts or 45 sts and the results will be similar. However, you will have probably have to use a bulky yarn instead of a super bulky. This is because the super bulky yarn will be tight to knit with on the US 13 needles. I hope that helps! 🙂
