Gauge
In Stockinette Stitch: 4.5mm US 7: 10x10 cm 4x4” = 20 stitches x 30 rows

Yarn Recommendation
Recommended Yarn: Suitable for 4.0mm US 6 to 5.0mm US 8 needles or approximately 2.5mm (±0.1”) in thickness. This pattern used cone yarn composed of 55% merino wool and 45% nylon.

Blended Wool Yarn:
Weight: 250 (270) 290 (300) 310 (340) 370 (400)g / 9 (9.5) 10 (10.5) 11 (12) 13 (14) oz
Yardage: 100g ≈ 250m (3.5 oz ≈ 273 yd)
Approx. 625 (675) 725 (750) 775 (850) 925 (1000)m / 700 (740) 780 (820) 860 (940) 1015 (1090) yd
It’s recommended to prepare an extra 10-15% of yarn to ensure you have enough. If you’re between sizes or want to be cautious, having extra yarn is always a good idea.

Notes
My knitting tension varies slightly at times, which may result in minor differences between the calculated gauge and the actual fabric length. If this causes any confusion, I recommend comparing the final stitch count for your chosen size in the pattern with your own gauge to estimate the correct measurements. For example, if your gauge is 22 stitches per 10 cm (4”), and you are knitting size M, the total body stitch count in the pattern is 179 stitches. You can estimate the width as follows: 179 ÷ 22 × 10 cm (4”) = 81 cm (32”).
The yarn I used is an unnamed cone yarn produced in South Korea. While it doesn’t have a specific brand name, the cone yarn I used has a thickness of 2.5 mm.
