The broken rib border on the sleeves and hem draws the eye to this distinctive detail. The sample is knit in cozy Perfection Super Bulky, or you may choose a lighter weight yarn if you prefer.

Yarn Yardage Requirements

While we would like to offer a simple yarn estimate in our custom patterns, however, the amount of yarn you will need will depend on choices you make like whether to make the garment a cropped or tunic length. We've anticipated that, and we have created charts that allow you to estimate yarn needed based on your choice of weight as well as length.  Please refer to our yarn estimation charts and read the article for helpful hints on how to estimate the amount of yarn you will need.

Notions

Knitting Needle(s):

Size 3 24” or larger circular &

24” circular needle one size smaller

Large - eye darning needle for weaving in ends and

quantity of 7 2.5 cm buttons

To measure a proper gauge, cast on 40 stitches using the needle size recommended for the yarn. Knit in Stockinette for at least 4 inches. Take swatch off the needles, lay it flat and measure in the center towards the top of the swatch. Knit using suggested needles first. Adjust needle size until you have a swatch that feels soft and drapey without being too loose.
