Size: One-size – fits size xs – xl.
width: 65 cm.
length: 70 cm.
Yarn: The total yarn consumption is approx. 460g. I have used 8 different green
colors and 4 different pink colors ”Den Behårede” (78% kid mohair, 13% merino og
9% nylon – 200m/100g). You can by a kit at www.handdyed.dk with the original
colors and buckles
Needles: 6 mm + 7 mm (the pattern is knitted back and forth, I have used circular
needles 60 cm).
Gauge: 13 stitches/ 10 cm in stockinette stitch on size 7 mm needle.
Ribbed edges and edges along front pieces are knitted with a “random” selection of
green colors in different thick/thin stribes.
When following the diagram, I have selected colors at random. I have tried to make
sure that the different colors are distributed fairly evenly, without there being a
specific system in the color choice.
