The colors used include 1419 Barley as the main color (MC), 1704 Apricot as color contrast 1 (CC1), and 9427 Rust Heather as color contrast 2 (CC2).

GAUGE: To ensure a perfect fit, aim for a gauge of 18 stitches x 24 rows, which measures 4" x 4" (10 cm x 10 cm) in stockinette stitch and colorwork after blocking. This measurement is important for achieving the desired look and drape of your Falling Drops cardigan.
