Notes

I’m starting with 2x 100g skeins of hand-dyed fingering yarn paired with 4 balls of KFO mohair. With the airy gauge, not much yarn is needed to knit a whole jumper at my size, perfect for using up those special stash skeins!

My bust is 95cm so I’m knitting size 3 with a target finished bust circumference of 103cm, getting a positive ease of 8cm.

I sized down to 5.5mm (from 6.0mm) to meet gauge as I tend to knit more loosely now.

Pre-weight yarn estimates: 3 balls of KFO mohair, 1.5 100g skeins of hand-dyed merino
