For your cardigan to be the correct size, it is not the brand of yarn that matters, but the GAUGE that is important.
It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase.
NEEDLES:
size 1 and size 3 straight needles or size needles to obtain the correct gauge
size 3 or smaller double pointed needles or 4 stitch holders
OTHER NOTIONS:
gauge ruler
tapestry needle
small novelty patch
1 separating zipper (purchase a zipper longer, rather than shorter, than needed because it can be shortened to the length of the cardigan front). The cardigan front should not be stretched to adjust to a too short zipper.
GAUGE:
28 stitches and 40 rows = 4 inches in basket weave stitch on size 3 needles
SKILL LEVEL:
Projects using basic stitches, repetitive stitch patterns, simple color changes, and simple shaping and finishing.
