Yarn Consumption
The amount of yarn required may vary depending on the size:

• M : 400-450 g
• L : 450-500 g

Gauge
To ensure your sweater fits correctly, knit a swatch.
The gauge is:
9 cm = 20 stitches in stockinette stitch (knit on right side, purl on another side).
If your swatch doesn’t match, adjust your needle size or yarn to achieve the correct tension.
