For the sample, size 2 was knitted using 4 skeins of Fivemoons Diana 4ply (50% silk, 50% Merino; 400 m / 100 g) in the elegant colourway Bone. We highly recommend selecting sleek yarns with exceptional drape to achieve the best results. This is particularly important as the mesh sections feature a different stitch gauge, which may create slight bulging. While this design element is beautifully intentional, using lightweight, airy, or woolly yarns could exaggerate this effect, compromising the overall elegance of the finished garment.
Gauge: To ensure your knitting matches the intended design, aim for a gauge of 24 stitches and 32 rows = 10 cm / 4” in stockinette stitch, after blocking.
This pattern not only offers versatility in fit through a range of sizes but also encourages creativity by inviting knitters to explore various yarn characteristics. Perfect for those looking for a chic and modern piece, it's an ideal addition to any knitter's repertoire. Happy knitting!
