MATERIALS:

YARN for sizes XS/S/M/L/XL/2XL:
- Cool Wool from Lana Grossa: merino extrafine, 12 wpi (Sport), 1,76 oz/ 50 g = 175 yds/ 160 m. The fabric shrinks considerably due to the elasticity of the merino wool; however, upon washing, it stretches and grows to half its length. The result is a very elastic, lightweight, and warm garment, making it my preferred choice for the cold months. Crochet hook 4 mm.

350/385/425/470/525/560 gr. = 1120/1232/1360/1504/1680/1792 m.
12,35/13,6/15/16,6/18,52/19,75 oz = 1226/1348/1488/1646/1838/1961 yds.

  • Alliance Fine from Mayflower: 50% Cotton 50% Polyacrylic, Fingering, 4 ply; 14 wpi; 28 sts; 1.8 oz /50 g = 175 yds /160 m. The fabric shrinks a little, but grows slightly after washing. It results in a fairly elastic and lightweight garment, becoming my favorite choice for summer. Crochet hook 3,5 mm.

310/340/375/410/455/490 gr. = 992/1088/1200/1312/1456/1568 m.
10,95/12/13,25/14,5/16,05/17,3 oz = 1086/1191/1313/1436/1593/1716 yds.

  • Softfun from Scheepjes: 60% Cotton 40% Acrylic, 11 Wpi (DK Light), 1,76 oz/ 50 g = 153 yds/ 140 m. This yarn creates a slightly thicker fabric, with less elasticity and a firmer structure. It grows only a little after washing and, using a 3.5 mm hook, it perfectly matches the pattern gauge. Crochet hook 3,5 mm.

350/375/415/460/510/550 gr. = 980/1050/1162/1288/1428/1540 m.
12,35/13,25/14,65/16,25/18/19,4 oz = 1073/1149/1272/1410/1563/1685 yds.

Please, purchase an additional 10-15% of the total yarn to cover errors, adjustments or variations in tension.
