YARN: This delightful cardigan design is suitable for a 2-ply Jumper Weight wool, with each 50 g skein yielding approximately 210 meters. You will need between 350 to 700 grams of yarn, depending on your size choice. The original model was crafted using 2-ply Jumper Weight Shetland wool, 100% sourced from Jamieson and Smith, located in Lerwick, Shetland Isles, ensuring quality and authenticity.
NEEDLES: For this pattern, you will need circular needles (or double-pointed needles) in sizes 2.5 mm and 3 mm.
TENSION/GAUGE: To achieve the perfect fit, aim for a tension/gauge of 24 stitches on 3 mm needles, equating to 10 cm (4 inches) when worked in stocking stitch. This ensures that your finished cardigan will drape beautifully and fit as intended.
