YARN

4 balls of ROMARIA from Rosários 4, color 17 – color A
2 skeins of PIOPARDO from Rosários 4, color 03 – color B

GAUGE

24 sts and 36 rnds – 10×10 cm in stockinette stitch with 3 mm needles, knitted in the round, washed and blocked (it’s important to wash and block your swatch in order to get the correct gauge). Check also your gauge with the colorwork pattern, if necessary, use a bigger needle for the colorwork section (I have used a 3.25mm needle for the colorwork section and 3 mm needle for the stockinette stitch).

NEEDLES

2.5 mm and 3 mm (also 3.25 mm needles if needed for the colorwork section) circular needles with 80 cm cable for the body and a 40 cm cable (or DPNs; or use the bigger cable and work in magic loop) for the neck (if necessary, adjust the needle size to match the gauge).

NOTIONS

Tapestry needle, stitch marker, waste yarn.
