MATERIALS

  • 5 (6, 7) skeins of Purl Soho’s Jumbo Andean Handspun, 60% baby alpaca and 40% merino wool. Each skein is 16 yards/ 125 g; approximately 80 (96, 112) yards required.
  • US 50 (25 mm), 32-inch circular needles
  • US 50, 24-inch circular needles
  • Scrap yarn to use as a stitch marker

PLEASE NOTE: Our Jumbo Andean Handspun was a limited-release yarn and is unfortunately no longer available. For a similar gauge for this project, we recommend using 4 (5, 5) skeins of Gentle Giant held double, equally Jumbo and in a wide range of color choices! Each skein is 48 yards/ 125 grams; approximately 192 (205, 440) yards required.

ALSO NOTE: We knit used the 32-inch circular needles to cast on and knit up to the neck, then switched to 24-inch needles to finish, but if you prefer, use the magic loop method and 47- or 60-inch circular needles throughout!
