Knitting Pattern Update: Casiopea Discontinued
We want to inform our knitting enthusiasts that the Casiopea yarn has been discontinued from Katia. For your upcoming projects, we recommend using Drops Alpaca and Ingenua Mohair as excellent substitutes. When you start the garter stitch pattern following the binding off for the sleeve holes, consider incorporating an effect yarn to elevate your design's texture and visual appeal.
If you're fortunate enough to obtain Casiopea, feel free to replace Ingenua Mohair with Casiopea after binding off for the sleeve holes, applicable to both body and sleeves. This substitution will give you a lovely finish that highlights your craftsmanship!
Here’s the updated yarn requirement: you will need Ingenua Mohair in the quantities of 200 (250) 250 (250) 300 (300) 300 g and Drops Alpaca in the amounts of 200 (200) 250 (250) 250 (300) 300 g. Be sure to gather your supplies accordingly before you start your knitting journey!
