The pattern includes additional details on length adjustments, allowing for a customized fit to suit your style.

Yarn & Yardage: This pattern calls for chunky weight yarn. We recommend using Rowan Cocoon, composed of 80% merino wool and 20% mohair. You'll need one skein of each color: Kiwi (green, MC) and Clay (beige, CC). The required yardage varies by size:
- Age 8 to Adult Small: 100m/110yds (50m/55yds of each color)
- Adult Medium: 120m/130yds (60m/65yds of each color)
- Adult Large: 130m/140yds (65m/70yds of each color)

Always remember to allow for a little extra yarn when planning your project. If you opt for a different yarn or a varying weight, you may need to increase your yardage accordingly.
