For this project, I highly recommend using Drops Merino Extra Fine yarn. This high-quality yarn is classified as DK/8ply, with each 1.8oz (50g) skein providing approximately 115 yards (105m) of soft, cozy material. For optimal results, I suggest using a 3.5mm (US4) needle. After washing, completed projects made from this yarn tend to loosen slightly, so using a larger needle will help create a more relaxed drape. Given the number of stitches involved, circular needles are often easier to work with for this project; however, you can certainly opt for straight needles if that is your preferred style. Embrace your knitting skills and create a beautiful heart-themed blanket that you or someone special will cherish for years to come!
