FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
Chest Circumference: 90 (94.5, 104.5, 115.5, 134.5) (138.5, 143, 160) cm. Each size is thoughtfully designed to provide the perfect fit for all body types.
MATERIALS: For this project, you will need **5 (5, 6, 6, 8) (9, 9, 10) skeins of Eco Soft by Isager**. This wonderful yarn blend consists of **56% alpaca and 44% organic cotton**, offering luxurious softness and breathability. With **137 yds / 125 m per 50 g skein**, we recommend colorway E4S for a chic look. If you choose to use an alternative yarn, ensure it’s a similar DK-weight to maintain the project’s integrity — you will need approximately **647 (676, 754, 813, 1081) (1143, 1207, 1323) yds / 592 (618, 689, 743, 988) (1045, 1104, 1210) m** of yarn that matches the given gauge for the best results.
Note! For those seeking to replicate the divine texture of the sample, the photographed design was knit using a lightweight blow yarn. To achieve a similarly lovely and fluffy look, consider selecting a DK-weight yarn with analogous properties.
GAUGE: To create the Enkel sweater, aim for a gauge of **14 sts x 20 rnds to 4” / 10 cm** using **US 9 / 5.5 mm needles** in Stockinette Stitch. This gauge is essential for ensuring that your finished sweater matches the intended dimensions and fit.
