I have looked at the three top sites on this topic when customizing polyester yarns for knitting and crochet.
Getting the Right Needle Size: If you get the needle size wrong, you might have an entirely different product. For instance, standard worsted-weight polyester yarn will allow you to achieve a balanced gauge and texture if knitted with a #13 (4.5mm) needle.
Gauge: It is important to obtain 18 stitches per 10cm or 4 inches so your work has elastic qualities and drapes well.
Experimenting with Tension: However, working tensions on the polyester thread can affect softness, leading to the final piece. A slightly looser tension is better, in my opinion, as it helps create a fabric that hangs down more naturally.
Tension Adjustment: A small variation of about 0.5 stitches can make the texture smoother and more flowing, thus emphasizing the characteristics of woolen threads.
Using Textured Stitches: Including textured stitches like bobbles or cables into your design made from polyester yarns makes them look much better. Incorporating cable stitches can add some depth without sacrificing the durability of the thread itself.
Stitch Complexity: It is also important to know how difficult these patterns are; complex stitches may require additional yarn and affect drape if the quantity of yarn used is not compensated for.
I have taken note of these ideas and technical specifications from prominent sources as they apply to knitting or crocheting using articles made of polyester material until I came up with my individual method, characterized by both aesthetics and performance, in what I designed.
