I'm planning on making this chemo cap for my mother - Lotus Hat

The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn, and a US size 6 needle. If I go down one weight - to a 3 (light worsted) do I then go to a US size 5 for the same gauge?

I'm using the yarn/needle sizing from this site - Standard Yarn Weight System

Thanks!

I used a lighter worsted for mine (Caron Country) and actually went up on the needle size to an 8/5mm and added a pattern repeat to fit my 24" noggin.
