Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Beginning of round stitch marker
Stitch marker to hold the V-Neck stitch

Yarn!
Double knitting yarn (DK/ category 3-light yarn)(5 strands held together of any double
knitting yarn held together)
A stash of double knitting yarn the sort of yarn that recommends that you use 4mm needles
Any super bulky yarns held single for example:
Crazy Sexy Wool by Wool and The Gang or Rasta by Malabrigo
If you want a luxury monster… I highly recommend checking out The Discrete Unicorn
Feel free to come up with your very own color combination that gets you the correct gauge
Yarn
However, if you are using Stylecraft Special DK yarn or similar, you will need around 600g,
600g, 700g, 750g, (800g, 800g, 850g, 900g)
If using Crazy Sexy Wool you will need 4-7 balls of 200 grams
If using Double Knitting yarn held together you will need 600 grams- 900 grams
Because certain yarns are heavier than others, I would suggest just bringing your stash together and going for it! weights of sweaters will differ depending on material you use
Each and every Monster V-Neck Sweater is unique
due to the colour changing technique! There are
plenty of options in the pattern for customisation!
The Monster V-Neck Sweater is knitted in the round
from the bottom up! It is totally seamless, apart from
the shoulder stitch 3 needle bind off which means
more knitting, less seaming YAY! Weaving in ends is
an option, not a must.
