First Night

Size: Adult (20.5” unstretched)

Yarn: For this project, we recommend using The Fibre Co Cumbria, a high-quality worsted-weight yarn that consists of 90% wool and 10% mohair. Each skein is 100g and offers a generous 238 yards of yarn in the beautifully rich color “Buttermere.” This yarn is not only soft and warm but also provides a luxurious texture to your finished piece.

Needles: You will need a set of circular needles: a US 5 (3.75 mm) 16” circular needle and a US 7 (4.5 mm) 16” circular needle. Additionally, use double-pointed needles (dpns) in the same size or adjust to a size that will help you achieve the appropriate gauge.

Notions: Don’t forget to gather essential knitting notions including a stitch marker to keep track of your stitches and a blunt-ended needle for weaving in those pesky ends after finishing your project.

Gauge: The precise gauge for this pattern is crucial for achieving the perfect fit. Aim for 19 stitches and 26 rows for every 4 inches when working in the knit/purl diamond pattern. Correct gauge ensures that your final piece will look as intended and fit comfortably.

This adult-sized knitting pattern is perfect for those looking to create a stylish and warm accessory. With the luxurious combination of wool and mohair yarn, this project makes for a delightful knitting experience.
