**YARDAGE:** This stunning sweater requires approximately 1150 yards for sizes XS, (1250 yards for size S, 1350 yards for size M), and 1450 yards for size L. In meters, that translates to about 1052 m for size XS, (1143 m for size S, 1235 m for size M), and 1326 m for size L.
**NEEDLES:** For this project, you'll need a range of needle sizes. Use US 1.5 / 2.5 mm DPNs or a small circular needle for the ribbing of the sleeves. A US 1.5 / 2.5 mm circular needle either 12 or 16 inches (30 or 40 cm) long will work perfectly for the neck, while a 24-inch (60 cm) US 1.5 / 2.5 mm circular needle is required for the body ribbing. For the main body and yoke, switch to a US 2.5 / 3.0 mm circular needle, measuring 24 inches (60 cm). Finally, use US 2.5 / 3.0 mm DPNs or a small circular needle for the sleeves.
**GAUGE:** Achieve a perfect fit by knitting a gauge of 27 stitches x 34 rows to measure 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm) in stockinette stitch on the larger needles when blocked. For the lace pattern, aim for a gauge of 25 stitches x 33 rows over 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm) on the larger size needles, also blocked. This meticulous attention to gauge will ensure that your Lucinda's Mom sweater fits beautifully and showcases your knitting skills.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your crafting journey, this pattern offers you an exciting project that blends intricate lacework with the comfort of a lightweight sweater. Create a stunning addition to your wardrobe or gift it to a loved one - the Lucinda's Mom sweater is a timeless piece that will never go out of style!
