SIZES
This versatile knitting pattern offers sizes 1, 2, and 3, with finished circumferences measuring 40 (46.75, 53.25) cm / 15.75 (18.5, 21) inches and heights of 19 (20, 21) cm / 7.5 (7.75, 8.25) inches. To achieve the perfect fit, it is recommended to wear this garment with 4-8 cm / 1.75-3.25 inches of negative ease. Perfectly suited for layering, Anna opts for a size 2, showcasing how each size adapts to different body types.
YARN CHOICES
For this beautiful design, we recommend using Blacker Yarns Blacker Swan DK, a DK-weight yarn made from 100% high-quality wool. Each 50g ball offers 110 metres / 119 yards, and for the complete project you will need 160 (185, 210) metres / 175 (202, 230) yards. Our featured sample is shown in the lovely Teaberry shade, adding a touch of elegance to your finished piece.
GAUGE
To ensure your finished item meets the desired dimensions, please note the gauge is 24 stitches and 26 rows equals 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches when worked in the round with a cable pattern on the larger needle, after blocking. Achieving this gauge is crucial for the overall fit and drape of the knitted fabric.
NEEDLES
We recommend using a 4 mm / US 6 circular needle (or a needle size to obtain the specified gauge) with a cable length of at least 40 cm / 16 inches. Additionally, a 3.75 mm / US 5 circular needle, which is one size smaller than the main needle, will also be required for this project, facilitating smooth transitions in stitch patterns.
