**Ease Recommendations:** It is important to wear this sweater with an ease of 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) at the bust for a cozy and stylish look. To find the ideal size to knit, measure your chest and add the suggested ease for your perfect fit.

**Yarn Information:** This sweater is crafted using two threads knitted together: a fingering weight yarn paired with a mohair lace yarn, resulting in a DK weight that adds warmth and texture. We recommend using the exquisite **mérinos** and **mohair** from **Teinturlurée** in the stunning **Viva la Vida colorway**. The total yarn requirements are approximately 1315, 1470 (1625, 1780, 1935) 2090, 2245, and 2400 meters of each yarn, which converts to 1440, 1607 (1780, 1946, 2116) 2285, 2455, and 2624 yards of each type of yarn.

**Recommended Needles:** For knitting the body of the sweater, we suggest using 4 mm (US 6) needles, while for the ribbing details, 3.5 mm (US 4) needles will provide the perfect finish to your project.

**Notions Needed:** Gather your essential knitting tools, including stitch markers, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and some waste yarn, which can be handy during the construction of your sweater.

**Gauge Information:** Achieve a gauge of 19 stitches and 28 rows per 10 cm after blocking to ensure that your sweater fits as intended. Accurate gauge is crucial in achieving the desired size and overall look of the garment.
