Autumn Dream
Yarn Information: For this project, we recommend using Kremke Soul Wool or any similar weight kid silk yarn for optimal results. This luxurious yarn blend consists of 72% mohair and 28% silk, providing softness and warmth. Each ball contains 25g of yarn that measures 210 meters, allowing for ample yardage in your project. To achieve the best finish, be sure to hold 2 strands of yarn together throughout your knitting.
Gauge Check: Before diving into your project, save time by checking your gauge. Achieving the correct tension is essential for a well-fitting garment.
Recommended Needles: For the collar, use a 4.0mm (US size 6) 40cm/16-inch circular needle. If you tend to knit tightly, consider opting for a larger needle size to accommodate your style. For knitting the body, choose a 4.5mm (US size 7) circular needle, either 60cm/24-inches or 80cm/32-inches in length depending on your preference for round knitting. When it comes to the sleeves, either 4.5mm (US size 7) double-pointed needles (dpns) or an appropriate-sized short circular needle will work perfectly. For any ribbed sections, you can use the same 4.5mm dpns or a short circular needle that fits comfortably in your hands.
Tension: To ensure your knitted piece turns out just right, aim for a tension of 19 stitches and 25 rows using the 4.5mm needle over a measurement of 10cm (4 inches).
