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.

Recommended: The recommended yarn for the Gemini Top is pure wool.

The best alternative: Merino wool should also work perfectly for this pattern!

Another alternative: You can use acrylic yarn for this project, although the look might turn out slightly different.
I recommend using a yarn with mixed acrylic and natural fibres, such as most sock yarns.

DIFFICULTY: 2/5
This pattern is great for beginner knitters wanting to advance to slightly more challenging techniques than knits and purls.
The pattern offers detailed explanations of the entire process, and is generally clear and easily legible.

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 needed and feedback from testknitters.
