THIS GARMENT HAS A ZERO EASE
The garment is slim-fitting to make sure it stays up. When worn, it will stretch to hug your body nicely.

CUSTOMIZING
Not all bodies look alike - thankfully! So, the intended fit of a garment might not fit everyone equally well. Unlucky Knits patterns always include a "Customization Guide" with tips on how to adapt the garment to fit you perfectly.

YARN
Recommended yarn type: Mohair
Meterage: 200 meters pr. 25 grams
Strands: Knit with 4 strands of yarn held together
Amount needed: 100 (100) 100 (125)125 (125) 150 (150) 175 (200) grams

Recommended: Mohair
Mohair yarn is generally easy to purchase all around the world, and can be found in all price ranges. As mohair is super light, your knit will be light enough to stay up by itself.
I definitely recommend knitting with mohair/kid silk mohair for this project.

The best alternative: Brushed Alpacca
If you prefer working with brushed alpacca, this is a great alternative to mohair and should work perfectly for this pattern.

Another alternative: Blowyarn
You can opt to use replace the 4 strands of mohair with one strand of blowyarn, with a meterage of 100 meters pr. 50 grams.
This option has been tested and is definitely possible, albeit the sweater will be slightly heavier and a little less fluffy.

DIFFICULTY: 2/5

This pattern generally contains very few advanced techniques, it offers detailed explanations of the entire process, and is generally clear and easily legible to all.

The pattern does contain abbreviations to certain words (k = knit, p = purl etc.) with a guide explaining the meaning of every abbreviation.

You can always check out the Unlucky Knits guides, if you need help along the way.

Please keep in mind that what some find difficult, you might find easy - and vice versa. The stated difficulty is an estimation based on the techniques
