Chest circumference: 34 (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54) inches

MATERIALS
Yarn: Fingering Weight yarn with a little bit of wooly bounce to it. Slightly heavy sock yarn is ideal.

If using a single color, yardage is approximately: 1400 (1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, 2200) yards

If using multiple colors, get twice as much yarn for the starting and ending colors as for the middle colors.

Example: If you pick 5 colors, take the total yardage for your size, divide by 7, and then use that number for yardage for your “middle colors,” and use twice that number for your hood and bottom border colors.

Example math: 5 colors, total yardage for size 40 is 1600 yards. Middle colors need approximately 230 yards each, and top and bottom colors need approximately 460 yards each.
