Knitting Needles Required: For this luxurious knitting pattern, we recommend using knitting needles in either 3 mm (US 2.5) or 3.5 mm (US 4) sizes. These sizes are optimal for creating garments with the finest textures, especially when working with delicate yarns like mohair, baby alpaca, and cashmere.
Knitting Instructions: This pattern is designed specifically for three exquisite types of yarn: Mohair, Baby Alpaca, and Cashmere. You will need 5 balls of each yarn, with a weight of 25 g per ball, along with knitting needles sized 3 to 3.5 mm. Here are the details of the yarns suited for this pattern:
- Kid Mohair Seide by Katia: Quality "Silk Mohair," consisting of 70% mohair and 30% silk, with a generous length of 200 m per 25 g ball.
- Cashmere Silk by Filatura di Crosa: Quality "Superior," featuring 70% cashmere and 30% silk, with an impressive length of 300 m per 25 g ball.
- Baby Alpaca by Lanartus: Quality "Baby Alpaca Silk," containing 70% baby alpaca and 30% silk, offering a beautiful length of 175 m per 25 g ball.
Knitting Technique: The basic pattern utilizes the stockinette stitch, which consists of knitting on the right side and purling on the back rows. This classic technique creates a smooth, elegant fabric perfect for showcasing the softness of the fibers.
Gauge: To achieve the best results, aim for a gauge of 23 stitches by 30 rows, which translates to a 10 cm x 10 cm square. It is crucial to maintain the stitch gauge for your project. If you find that your knitting is on the tighter side, we recommend using the 3.5 mm needle to ensure your gauge is in alignment with the pattern specifications.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your journey, this pattern is perfect for creating soft, cozy garments that you'll love to wear or gift. Enjoy the luxurious feel of these exquisite yarns as you create your masterpiece!
