Yarn
Worsted weight Shown inMalabrigo Rios #618 LiquidAmbar 210 yards 4 ( 5, 5, 6, 8 ) skeins or if you don’t want to knit stripes 5 ( 6, 6, 7, 9 ) skeins of the main color. For the stripes you will use approximately 6 yards per color worsted weight yarn for body stripes. Approximately 3 yards or less for sleeve stripes. There are 16 body stripes and 14 sleeve stripes. I made sure NOT to match my stripes by color. In other words, I did not try to match a green back stripe to a green front stripe. I
mixed it up! Same for the sleeves.
