MATERIALS USED BY US: For the stylish bluse version, we recommend our high-quality ALCAMO yarn, which is made of 100% Egyptian cotton in DK weight. The pink variation is crafted using our NOTO yarn, a delightful blend of 50% linen and 50% cotton, which is worked with two strands to create a beautifully textured surface and softer shades. Remember, 50 g of this yarn yields about 350 meters, ensuring that you'll have ample material for your project.
TENSION/GAUGE: Achieve a perfect tension with 23 stitches on 3 mm needles in stocking stitch, equating to 10 cm *(4 inches)*. Proper tension is vital for ensuring your finished jersey fits perfectly.
OTHER SUITABLE YARNS: If you're considering alternatives, here are some excellent yarns that can be used for this pattern: LANA GROSSA Cotone, SCHOELLER und STAHL Limone, and MONDIAL Cometa. For those looking for linen/cotton options, we suggest DMC Natura Linen, Cascade Yarns Hampton, or Juniper Moon Farm Zooey to achieve the desired texture and drape.
Embark on your next knitting adventure with the DANIELA jersey pattern, perfect for both casual wear and special occasions. Whether you're gifting it to a loved one or treating yourself, this pattern promises to deliver a stunning and comfortable piece you'll cherish for years to come.
