YARNS AND MATERIALS
To knit the Lana Sweater the following yarns were used:
Woohoo Wool from Lana Grossa x Knit Knit Berlin (100 % Merino Wool, 200 g = 250 m)
TIPS: This yarn also comes in 50 g balls. If you’d like to knit your sweater in multiple colors like the one in the photos, I recommend choosing two main colors in 200 g cones and using 50 g balls for the secondary colors. It’s a more budget-friendly option!
Silk Hair from Lana Grossa (70% mohair, 30% silk, 25 g = 210 m)
To knit the Lana Sweater in the pictures above i’ve used approx:
110 g of purple + 166 g of black + 73 g of yellow + 400 g of gray + 400 g of green = 1149 g of Woohoo Wool.
90 g of Silk Hair color n°183.
The total amount of yarn for the all sweater is 1239 g.

GAUGE

TIPS
When knitting your swatch, make sure to cast on enough stitches to allow for at least 10 cm (4 inches) of fabric, plus a few extra on each side to prevent edge distortion during measuring. For this design, it is not necessary to block your swatch, as with a chunky yarn like the one used, the finished piece does not require blocking.
Make a swatch to achieve the same gauge as indicated above. Needle size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches on 10 cm = 4”, change to a larger needle size. If you get too few stitches on 10 cm = 4”, change to a smaller needle size.
