NOTE If you substitute another yarn, please check gauge (tension) and yardage.
NOTE Please be aware that when knitting with the Noro Silk Garden yarn, the hand dyeing process means that colour changes will not necessarily match exactly as the above photo. This also means that the colours won’t match at the side seams of your vest. This distinctive random colour striping is part of the beauty of knitting with this quality yarn. Each row is a surprise!

• 2 DPN 3.50mm (US 4) for three needle join at front neck.

GAUGE (Tension): 22 sts and 36 rows = 10cm (4 in), garment being blocked and measured over garter st pattern, using 3.50mm (US 4) needle.
NB Needle size is only a guide- if you get too many stitches for 10cm, take a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches for 10cm, take a smaller needle size. It’s very important to check your gauge (tension) before starting as working to the wrong tension will mean your garment won’t be size shown.
