Knit dungarees are popular for a few reasons. Firstly, they are versatile and can be dressed up or down, making them suitable for any occasion. Secondly, they are comfortable and easy to move in, which is important for babies who are constantly on the go. Thirdly, they are great for layering in cold weather.

When it comes to layering in cold weather, knit dungarees are an excellent choice because they provide an extra layer of warmth without adding bulk. They can be worn over a onesie or a long-sleeve bodysuit to keep your baby warm and cozy, while still allowing them to move freely. Additionally, knit dungarees are made from soft and breathable materials, which helps to keep your baby comfortable and prevents overheating.

Another great feature of knit dungarees is that they can be easily layered over pants or leggings, which can be removed as the day warms up. This makes them a great option for parents who want to ensure their baby stays warm, but also want the flexibility to adapt to changing weather conditions.

When I was looking around for free knitting patterns to share recently, I came across this fun leopard print wrap from Yarnspirations.

This fun bulky wrap gives you tons of practice with instarsia and makes a bold statement while keeping you warm. It’s rated for intermediate knitters and the design is charted but pretty easy to follow. And it’s only 50 rows and worked in bulky yarn, so it wouldn’t even take that long to knit. (You can grab the free pattern from Yarnspirations.)

So what’s the problem? The yarn that the pattern calls for has been discontinued, and it’s not a yarn that a substitute for immediately springs to mind.

The original yarn was Patons Alpaca Blend, a single ply bulky yarn that was a combination of acrylic, superwash wool, nylon and alpaca.

My first thought was Lion Brand Hue + Me, which is an acrylic and wool blend, with two plies instead of a single. It looks like it has the colors you would need to make this fun shawl.

But as I was thinking about it, I thought this would be a good opportunity to introduce you to YarnSub if you don’t already know about it. This website is a giant database of yarn that can consider the qualities of the yarn you want to substitute and offer potential substitutions.

It’s not only thinking about yarn weight, like I was, but also fiber content, number of plies, gauge and even the difference in yardage between one ball and another. It even looks at the price and can be filtered by your price range or preferences about fiber content (if, say, you’re sensitive or allergic to wool, for example, or don’t want to you acrylic).

When I plugged in Alpaca Blend, it gave me a lot of different options, though many of them were self-striping or multicolored, which wouldn’t work for this project, and I don’t see a way to filter for solid colors only.

Still, it’s a good tool to give you some ideas you might not know about or might have forgotten about, and it tells you how the new yarn is similar to the old one and how it differs, allowing you to make smarter choices when substituting yarns.
