YARN
For this project, we recommend using Blacker Yarns Lyonesse DK, a premium DK-weight yarn composed of 50% linen and 50% Falkland Islands Corriedale/Merino for exceptional softness and drape. Each skein features 109 meters (119 yards) per 50 grams.
You will need a total of 1070 (1175, 1285, 1390, 1500, 1660, 1820, 1980) metres or 1170 (1285, 1405, 1520, 1640, 1815, 1990, 2165) yards of yarn in the beautiful colorway Moonstone to create this stunning piece.
GAUGE
The recommended gauge for this pattern is 22 stitches by 32 rounds, equating to a 10 x 10 cm square when worked in the round using Stockinette Stitch, on the smaller needle, and after blocking for an accurate fit.
NEEDLES
To achieve the perfect gauge and overall design, you will need a 4 mm (US 6) circular needle (or your preferred needle size that achieves gauge) with a cable length of at least 80 cm (32 inches). Additionally, a 3.75 mm (US 5) circular needle is required (or a needle 1-2 sizes smaller than the main needle) with the same cable length specifications.
NOTIONS
Don't forget essential knitting notions for a smooth crafting experience: blocking tools (optional), a darning needle for weaving in ends, stitch holders or scrap yarn for saving stitches, stitch markers to track progress, and a tape measure to ensure accuracy throughout your project.
This detailed knitting pattern is perfect for knitters looking to create a beautifully fitting garment, enhancing their wardrobe with a unique piece that embodies comfort and style. Happy knitting!
