I LOVE
this yarn - Koigu Kersti Merino Crepe - 100% Merino Wool DK 50 g
- 114 yards. This sweater took three skeins for a size two. Used
a pattern from Mary Rich Goodwin's book - Children's
Sweaters and Hats - Knitting Seamless Raglan Top Down.
I used one
of the patterns for DK weight and made the regular raglan seams.
My gauge was 6 stitches to the inch and 8 rows with US 6 needles.
Since I was making it for a store sample, it didn't need to fit
anyone. Loved how the two colors flowed together even though they
were different variegateds.
Since I have
a lot of Kersti in stock, I will DEFINITELY be using more of it
- Yum :-) |
