Overwinter

**Yarn**: For this charming pattern, we recommend using Olann Grã Adare, a delightful DK weight yarn that comes in generous 250-yard skeins. You will need approximately 170 yards of the main color "Mercy" to create your project. If you wish to add a playful touch, prepare an additional 30-40 yards of contrasting scrap yarn for an adorable pom pom complementing your design. **Needles**: This pattern requires US 5 (3.75mm) and US 6 (4mm) 16” circular needles for the body of the work, along with double-pointed needles (dpns) for finishing. The combination of these needle sizes ensures a comfortable and efficient knitting experience while achieving the desired gauge. **Notions**: Be sure to gather essential knitting notions to enhance your crafting process. You’ll need three stitch markers of one type and one special marker to indicate the beginning of the round. Additionally, keep a blunt needle on hand for weaving in those pesky ends, and a pom pom maker if you're creating a whimsical touch with a pom pom. **Gauge**: Achieving the right gauge is essential for a well-fitting garment. For this pattern, aim for a gauge of 21 stitches and 30 rows per 4 inches when using the larger needles in the main stitch pattern. This will help ensure that your finished project maintains the intended shape and size, providing a professional finish to your knitting. By following this detailed description and preparation guidelines, you’ll be well on your way to crafting a lovely piece with the Olann Grã Adare yarn. Happy knitting!
