Materials
This knitting pattern requires 100% Cotton yarn in a 4ply (baby fingering weight) suitable for delicate projects. We recommend using Happy Go Knitty yarn, which offers an impressive 165m per 50g. For these designs, you’ll need just 1 x 25g/1oz ball of yarn to complete any of the three beautiful patterns. The colorways available for this project are:
- Geraldine - Colourway: Aqua
- Sunny Days - Colourway: Sunflower
- With a Twist - Colourway: Feijoa
To get started, you will need a pair of 3.25mm/US 3 knitting needles. If you're knitting the Sunny Days design, don't forget to grab a 3.25mm/US 3 cable needle as well for those cable stitches.
Gauge/Tension
Achieve the correct gauge with this pattern for best results. You’ll want to aim for 28 stitches and 36 rows to measure 10cm/4 inches over stocking stitch when using 3.25mm/US 3 needles. If your gauge is larger than stated, simply switch to a smaller needle size, while a smaller gauge would require a larger needle size. Remember, gauge is important for fit but not crucial for enjoyment!
