GAUGE

The gauge for this pattern is 23.5 stitches x 24 rounds per 10 x 10 cm when worked in the round using stranded colourwork techniques. Remember to use a larger needle and block your work afterward to achieve the correct dimensions and ensure a professional finish.

YARN

For this refined colorwork sweater, we recommend using De Rerum Natura Gilliatt yarn. This high-quality worsted-weight yarn is made from 100% Merino wool, providing both warmth and breathability. Each 100g skein offers 250 meters / 273 yards of luxurious softness — perfect for your next knitting project!

NEEDLES

To create this lovely garment, you'll need a 4.5 mm / US 7 circular needle (or a needle size that helps you achieve gauge) with a cable length of at least 40 cm / 16”. Additionally, a 4 mm / US 6 circular needle is recommended (or a needle 1-2 sizes smaller than your main needle) for working on finer details.

NOTIONS

Gather the essential tools to complete your project: blocking tools (optional), a crochet hook and scrap yarn for an optional provisional cast-on, a darning needle, a pom pom maker (optional), stitch markers, and a tape measure. These notions will ensure you have everything at hand for a seamless knitting experience.

TECHNIQUES

This pattern incorporates various knitting techniques, including vibrant colourwork to bring your design to life and a provisional cast-on method (optional) for those who enjoy a touch of creativity.
