Experiment, knit up a sample square to check the tension. It will tell you in the pattern how big a certain number of stitches & rows should be, then you can adjust things by using bigger or smaller needles.0

I've often used superchunky patterns with the normal chunky used double, or one strand chunky and two of DK, if you're happy to use other wool too.
