Yarn Consumption (approximate indications)
Freestyle with leftover chunky mohair, brushed alpaca or e.g. kid silk mohair. With thicker qualities like chunky mohair and brushed alpaca, the yarn is held double. With thin qualities like kid silk mohair, knit with 4 strands. Also try combining different yarn types, e.g. one strand of brushed alpaca and two strands of kid silk mohair. You can also use other yarn scraps suitable for thick needles, possibly held double. Total approx. 450-600 grams.
You will need 9 mm circular needles. Both a short 40 cm for the sleeves, and a 60 cm, as well as an 80/100 cm for the body. For the ribbing, you will need 6 or 7 mm circular needles. Both a short 40 cm for the neckband and a longer one for the finishing ribbing on the body, and for the sleeve cuffs, if you want to knit them with the Magic Loop technique. Otherwise, you can use 6 or 7 mm double-pointed needles for the sleeve cuffs.
