Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows to 10cm / 4” stocking stitch, lightly blocked, using 3.75mm (US5) needles

Note: Gauge is more important than needle size. Please swatch and block to determine the correct size needles to give you gauge.

You will also require one extra needle for the three needle bind off. Pick a needle close to your main needle size, but it does not need to match exactly.

Yarn Requirements: Two strands of fingering weight yarn held double throughout. This could be substituted for one strand of sport weight or light DK yarn if the fabric has some drape. Whatever you choose to use, please ensure you swatch to ensure the correct gauge can be achieved.

Yarn Used as Shown in Main Picture: Yarnworthy Silky Alpaca Linen (400m per 100g) in Only a Ginger (MC) and Casper (CC) colourways.

The estimated meterage is calculated as the pattern is written. You can easily change the length of the body to suit your personal style, however, please be aware that this may increase the amount of yarn needed.
