Chest Circumference: 90 (94.5, 104.5, 115.5, 134.5) (138.5, 143, 160) cm. Each size is designed to flatter various body types, providing a fashionable yet cozy silhouette.

**MATERIALS**

Yarn: You’ll need 5 (5, 6, 6, 8) (9, 9, 10) skeins of Eco Soft by Isager, comprised of 56% alpaca and 44% organic cotton, offering incredible softness and warmth. Each skein contains 137 yds / 125 m and weighs 50 g, available in the beautiful colourway E4S.

If you opt for a different yarn, aim for approximately 647 (676, 754, 813, 1081) (1143, 1207, 1323) yds / 592 (618, 689, 743, 988) (1045, 1104, 1210) m of a similar DK-weight yarn that meets the specified gauge for best results.

Note! The yarn featured in the sample photograph is a lightweight blow yarn, which imparts a delightful fluffiness to the finished project. If you're after a similar aesthetic and texture to the sample, consider selecting a comparable DK-weight yarn with a soft finish.
