MATERIALS

  • 6 skeins of Alchemy Kozmos, 30% Silk, 26% Mohair, 13% Wool, 31% Cotton. Each skein is 119 yards/ 45 grams; approximately 476 yards required. This color is Platinum.
  • A US 8 (5 mm), 24 inch circular needle
  • A US 8, 12 inch circular needle
  • 2 double pointed needles, US 8 or smaller
  • 4 stitch holders
  • 4 stitch markers
  • OPTIONAL: For a snugger fit around the waist and arm bands, use US 7 (4.5 mm) circular needles for the ribbing (24 inch for the waist and 12 inch for the sleeves). I didn’t do this, but next time I would consider it. It just depends on your body and taste!
