Yarn: Crafted with a luxurious blend, this pattern utilizes Rivoli Sport yarn by Nadia Crétin-Léchenne, which consists of 35% Merino, 35% Alpaca, and 30% Mulberry Silk, providing both warmth and softness. Each skein contains 274 yards / 250 meters of this exquisite yarn, weighing 100 grams. For this project, you will need: A: Auguste Pink – 4 (4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5) skeins; B: William Slate – 1 skein; C: Henri Plum – 1 skein; D: Vincent Yellow – 1 skein. This versatile color palette allows for creative expression in your finished piece.
Needles: To create this stunning design, you will need size US 4 / 3.5 mm needles, including 24-32” / 60-80 cm circular needles and one set of double-pointed needles. An optional second US 4 / 3.5 mm 24-32” / 60-80 cm circular needle may also be handy for grafting techniques. Don’t forget to adjust your needle size if necessary to achieve the perfect gauge.
Notions: Gather your essential knitting tools, including markers, a tapestry needle, a cable needle, and stitch holders, to ensure a smooth knitting experience. Having these notions on hand will make it easier to track your progress and manage your stitches effectively.
Gauge: For optimal results, aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 40 rows = 4” / 10 cm using US 4 / 3.5 mm needles in Garter Stitch, after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for the fit and drape of your garment, so take the time to swatch before starting your project.
