Little Coffee Bean Pattern Details:

This pattern is crafted with gauge specifics of 4.5 stitches and 6 rows equating to 1 inch (or 2.5 cm) in stockinette stitch. The recommended yarn for this project is approximately 180 (217, 250) yards for the main color and around 100 (130, 160) yards for a contrasting color of worsted weight yarn. The sample shown is made from Vintage by Berroco, which is a delightful blend of 50% Acrylic, 40% Wool, and 10% Nylon, providing both comfort and durability (100 g = 217 yards). For this project, you will need 1 (1, 2) skeins of the main color and 1 skein for the contrasting color.
