This takes about 7-8 skeins of Red Heart regular and about 3 skeins of 5 oz super saver yarn. It is gorgeous in Deep Sage. You could use size 8 needles for the ribbing and 10 1/2 for the body or the 9 and 11 here. You could add a collar of lace or a hood if you have yarn left, you could make the hood, which could take about 2 small skeins.
