Materials: 20 g Perletta (200 m / 220 yds) 100 % silk by www.wollerey.de; yardage per 100 g: 1000 m / 1094 yds) Measurements (blocked): approx. 165 cm x 21 cm / 64" x 8" Needles: 3.5 mm / US size 4 Gauge: Correct gauge is not essential for this project unless you are working with a limited quantity of yarn. Measurements depend on how much yardage you use and how strongly you block the whole garment. Depending on the amount of yarn you use, you can adjust size to your preference. If you are a tight knitter I recommnd using a larger needle size. Guideline: 15 sts = approx. 4" x 4" / 10 cm x 10 cm
