Yarn Substitution Ideas:
- Purl Soho Super Soft Merino
- Manos del Urugay Franca
- Valley Yarns Berkshire Bulky
- Malabrigo Chunky
Needles and other supplies:
• US 15/10 mm 32”/80 cm circular needle or size needed to obtain gauge (note: Puffin is a very bulky yarn, so for traditional bulky-weight yarns, you may want to go down a needle size to a US 13/9 mm.)
• 1 stitch marker
• Tapestry needle or crochet hook to weave in ends
Helpful Hint regarding Needle Size:
The yarn used is Quince & Co’s Puffin, knit up one needle size larger than I would typically use with the yarn to get gauge (because of the tight nature of the stitch pattern). If you are substituting yarn, choose a needle size that is one or two sizes larger than what the yarn’s “suggested” needle size is (doing a little swatch to make sure you like how the fabric looks in that needle size is always a good idea!)
