Yarn
This beautiful yoke sweater is crafted using fingering weight yarn, specifically the Fluffy Fingering from Big Bad Yarn in the enchanting Mindset colorway. You will need approximately 1020, 1140 (1225, 1275, 1380) 1500, 1620, and 1740 meters or 1115, 1247 (1340, 1395, 1510) 1640, 1775, and 1905 yards of yarn to complete this project. Choose a soft and lightweight yarn to achieve the perfect drape and comfort.
Needles
To knit the Aptenia yoke sweater, you'll need 3.25 mm (US 3) needles for the body and 2.75 mm (US 2) needles for the ribbing. These sizes ensure that your stitches are tight enough to maintain the shape of the sweater while allowing the lace to shine.
Notions
In addition to knitting needles, gather some essential notions including stitch markers, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and some waste yarn for the lace sections. Having these tools on hand will make your knitting experience smooth and enjoyable.
Gauge
Achieve the perfect fit and drape by ensuring your gauge is correct: 26 stitches and 40 rows equate to 10 cm after blocking. It is highly recommended to perform a gauge swatch before beginning your project, as this step is crucial in ensuring that your finished sweater turns out just right.
