Designer’s note: Everyone knits differently, so I HIGHLY recommend you do a gauge swatch before starting your sweater to ensure that your gauge is correct for the pattern. You may prefer going down in needle sizes depending on your tension and the finished fabric of your swatch.

Materials used: Yarndyeries held double (Fingering; 100% merino wool; 434 yds/115 g, OR any other yarn that knits up to desired gauge).

Other notions: Stitch markers, crochet hook/tapestry needle, scrap yarn/stitch holder, tape measure and scissors.
