Please note that the largest size may require an additional half skein, depending on your personal choices and knitting style.
Needles: To create this stunning cardigan, use a US #5/3.75mm circular needle that is at least 32 inches long. For those knitting the larger sizes, a longer needle may be preferable for ease of work. Additionally, you will require a set of US #5/3.75mm double-pointed needles or your preferred method for knitting in the round. Feel free to use any needle size that helps you achieve the desired gauge!
