MATERIALS

  • 3 (5) skeins of Purl Soho’s Nigh Aran, 100% cashmere yarn. Each skein of this worsted/aran weight yarn is 100 yards/ 55 grams; approximately 255 (500) total yards required. We used the color Wren Feather.
  • US 8 (5mm), 24-inch circular knitting needles

NOTE: We used every last yard for the Large size, so to ensure you don’t run out, we recommend weighing all of your skeins before casting on. This way, you can make sure you have at least half your yarn left before beginning the Second Half!
