Yarn : Create this stunning sweater using a combination of fingering and lace weight yarns, which together equate to DK weight. We recommend using high-quality yarns such as Kid Silk from Drops and Mérinos Fingering from C’Laines. You will need approximately 1300, 1450, 1605, 1755, 1910, 2060, 2215, and 2365 meters, or 1425, 1585, 1755, 1920, 2090, 2255, 2425, and 2590 yards of each yarn for the respective sizes.

Needles : For this project, use 4 mm (US Size 6) needles for the body of the sweater, and 3.5 mm (US Size 4) needles for the ribbing sections. A needle set is essential to achieve the desired stitch definition and drape in your finished garment.

Notions : Don't forget to gather your essential knitting notions! You will need stitch markers, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and some waste yarn for the construction process.

Gauge : To ensure the best fit and appearance, aim for a gauge of 22 stitches and 30 rows per 10 cm in stockinette stitch using 4 mm needles (US Size 8), after blocking. Proper gauge is crucial for achieving the sweater's intended dimensions and drape.

This knitting pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters looking to expand their skills and create a lovely sweater that can be worn year-round. Dive into your knitting journey with this stylish and cozy sweater design!
