Yarn Requirements

For this stunning sweater pattern, you will need 4 (4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6) skeins of Woolly Mammoth Fiber’s BFL/Masham yarn, which consists of 75% Bluefaced Leicester and 25% Masham wool. Each skein weighs 100g and contains approximately 240 meters (or about 960 yards) of high-quality DK weight yarn. The total yarn requirement for different sizes is about 960 (960, 960, 960, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1440, 1440) meters or 1049 (1049, 1049, 1049, 1312, 1312, 1312, 1574, 1574) yards. This versatile yarn is perfect for creating a cozy and stylish sweater that will keep you warm and fashionable.

Needle Sizes

To achieve the desired fit and texture, you will need a set of knitting needles: US size 5 (3.75mm) for the ribbing and US size 7 (4.5mm) for the body of the sweater. Using the correct needle size is essential for ensuring your stitches are even and your sweater maintains its shape.

Gauge Information

The gauge for this pattern is 21 stitches by 30 rows, which equals 4 inches (10cm) in stockinette stitch on the larger needles when knitted in the round and properly blocked. Accurately matching the gauge is crucial for achieving the intended fit and drape of the finished garment.

Notions Needed

Don’t forget to gather the necessary knitting notions! You will need a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and stitch markers to help keep track of your stitches and pattern repeats. Having these tools on hand will make your knitting experience smoother and more enjoyable.
