size 1X/2X
Premier Yarns Anti-Pilling Select
MC: 2179-01 Pearl - 5 balls, barely enough, I even had to unravel my swatch and use that yarn for the bind off and sewed the seams with the other colors
CC 1: 2179-26 Ocean - 1 ball
CC 2: 2179-24 Currant - 1 ball
CC 3: 2179-17 Goldenrod - 1 ball
CC 4: 2179-21 Rouge - 1 ball
CC 5: 2179-15 Copper - 2 balls

Gauge
20 sts x 24 rows = 4” in stranded knitting with larger needle
25 sts x 27 rows = 4” in K1, P1 ribbing with smaller needle, unstretched

US 6 & 8

Fronts, Back and sleeves are made separately, flat and sewn together. Stranded knitting is worked on both knit and purl side.

My floats are plenty loose but the 4x4 checks want to pucker even after blocking. This acrylic/nylon yarn is slippery.
