We're near the top of the Andes 口 January 29- Clue 4 (Return to the Vilage). Finishing up, casting off, blocking. 口 February 5 - Officially over! You are free to share photos of your adventure · Please, no spoiler photos as your front project photo until after the MKAL is over. Use the pattern teaser images or your yarn choices. Sign up thread is here. Size: Clue 3 is repeatable until you are happy or yarn runs out! Gauge: Item will need to be somewhat drapey, but a tighter gauge or larger yarn & needles is okay so long as your work is flexible. You will just get a cozier item. If you use finer hooks/needles or finer yarn, you will get a more delicate item. Knit gauge: 14 stitches x 20 rows = 4 inchs/10 cm square in stockinette stitch Crochet gauge: 16 stitches x 9 rows in double crochet (treble for UK)= 4 inches/10 cm square
Materials:
- 3 colours of at least 109 yards each DK yarn or other weight that works with your hook or needles. I used 3 skeins Mirasol Llama Una, 100% llama, 109 yards/50 grams, in Gull, Gold, and Forest. Crochet item will be somewhat smaller than knitted item if you use the same yardage - 5.5 mm/us 9 circular or long needles to accommodate many stitches OR - 5.0 mm hook for DK weight. I used a 4.5 mm hook with sport-weight yarn, and a 5.5 mm with worsted weight in Knit Picks Swish Worsted, 110 yards/ 50 grams.
