I used the the same colors specified for the Stonewashed XL, but followed the directions regarding gauge and hook size for the sport weight version. It was a real “splurge” for me to finally jump in and get the Stonewashed yarn, but now I am totally spoiled!! I ended up covering the top of a queen-sized bed. I’m not sure if I will “grow” it any more or not… just enjoying it the way it is for now!
