Yarn Requirements: You will need a main color (MC) of approximately 375 (475, 575, 675, 760, 840) meters / 410 (520, 629, 738, 831, 919) yards of "plain" worsted weight yarn. Additionally, for the contrasting color (CC), you'll require 80 meters / 88 yards of metallic sport weight yarn—or any fancy yarn that adds a touch of elegance to your project. This versatility allows you to personalize your piece to match your unique style.
Tension Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit by paying attention to your tension. The gauge is 18 stitches and 26 rows = 10 cm / 4" over stockinette stitch (St st) using 5mm needles with your main color (note: this is a loose tension). For the ribbing detail, ensure you have a gauge of 17 stitches and 12 rows = 4 cm / 1 1/2" over a 1 x 1 rib using 3.25mm needles with the contrasting color yarn; remember that row tension is particularly important in this section.
This knitting pattern is not only a fantastic project for yourself, but it also makes a thoughtful gift for family and friends. Dive into your yarn stash today and start creating your very own close-fitting garment that showcases your knitting skills and personality!
