Yarn
Created with The Plucky Knitter Traveler Sport yarn, which is a luxurious blend of 65% merino wool, 20% silk, and 15% yak, this pattern requires 4 (4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6) skeins. Each skein contains 325 yards, so you'll need approximately 1095 (1160, 1225, 1290, 1355, 1420, 1485, 1550, 1615, 1680) yards total.

Additionally, have size 3 (3.25 mm) 29" circular needles and dpns on hand. Be sure to adjust the needle size as necessary to obtain the correct gauge and ensure a perfect fit for your pullover.
Notions
Gather essential notions including markers (m), stitch holders or waste yarn, and a tapestry needle to assist with your project.
Gauge
To achieve the desired fit and appearance, aim for a gauge of 25 stitches and 32 rows = 4 inches in Stockinette Stitch on the larger needles. Taking the time to check your gauge is highly recommended to save time and ensure that your pullover turns out just right.
