Yarn used in the sample:

Brown Short Sleeve sample is Size 4 and used  Farmer’s Daughter’s Fibers Moon Sisters (75% Superwash Merino Wool, 20% Nylon, 5% Stellina) in the colorway Paul Newman.

Beige Long Sleeve Sample is Size 5 and used Knit Picks Twill Fingering (100% Superwash Merino Wool) in Horchata Heather.

Alternative Yarns

Any fingering weight yarn will work. Here are some I recommend based on their weight and fiber content:

Main gauge

22 sts x 12 rows = 10 cm / 4in
In dc rows worked flat with a 3 mm hook after blocking

Swatch Instructions

Be sure to block and check gauge before starting by making a big enough gauge swatch (at least 15 x 15 cm / 6 x 6 in).

Certain materials might sag, and fabric may extend too much with drape, so adjust hook size appropriately.
