**Difficulty Level:** Intermediate
**Materials Required:** To create this stunning knitted garment, you will need Hobbycraft’s “Leader of the Pack" yarn in Col. Pink. This yarn composition consists of 90% acrylic and 10% alpaca for a soft and luxurious feel. Each skein provides 170 meters per 100 grams. Depending on the size you choose, the following quantities of yarn will be necessary:
- S/M: 500g

**Needle Sizes:** For this pattern, you will require one pair of 5 mm (US 8) and one pair of 6 mm (US 10) knitting needles, or another size to achieve the correct tension. Additionally, a 5 mm circular needle is needed for the collar. Make sure you have a cable needle and two stitch holders handy as well.
**Pattern Notes & Method:** The design features a back and front that are worked back and forth from the bottom up. These pieces are then joined at the shoulders for a seamless finish. The underarm of the sleeves and side seams are sewn together in one go, giving it a polished look. To help you stay on track, it is highly recommended to use stitch markers between each cable pattern. This will facilitate easier corrections if any mistakes occur during your project.
