Yarn:
For this pattern, we recommend using Jamieson and Smith 2-ply Jumperweight yarn. Each 25g ball provides approximately 114m (115yds) of warmth and durability. You will need:
- 1 (2, 2) balls in Red shade 93 (Main Color - MC)
- 1 (1, 1) ball in Dark Grey shade 81 (Color Contrast 1 - CC1)
- 1 (1, 1) ball in Mid Grey shade 54 (Color Contrast 2 - CC2)
- 1 (1, 1) ball in Pale Grey shade 27 (Color Contrast 3 - CC3)
When selecting a substitute yarn, opt for a sticky wool yarn to achieve the best results. A woolen spun yarn is particularly recommended, as it enhances the beauty of the Fair Isle pattern.

This knitting project involves several techniques, including stranded Fair Isle knitting, reading charts, knitting in the round, and grafting. Perfect for intermediate knitters looking to expand their skills while creating a functional and stylish accessory.
