What Else?

The Pattern:

You will need to purchase the pattern here. 

Materials:

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

Finished chest (fullest point) circumference: 117 (127, 135, 147, 157, 167, 177)cm / 46 (50, 53¼, 58, 62, 67, 71)“ – to be worn with 25.5-38cm / 10-15” positive ease
Rio’s height is 167.5cm / 5’ 6” with a chest (fullest point) circumference of 89cm / 35”, and is shown wearing a size 2.

Yarn: worsted weight
Yarn A: 691 (740, 783, 846, 928, 982, 1070)m / 756 (809, 856, 925, 1015, 1074, 1170)yds of worsted-weight yarn.
Yarn B: 676 (723, 765, 827, 908, 960, 1046)m / 739 (791, 837, 904, 993, 1050, 1144)yds of worsted-weight yarn.

I personally suggest the following yarns: Cascade Pacific, Yarnalia Wooly, or NBK Worsted,. Or, for a wool-free option, Mirasol Winqu, and for vegan options, Estelle Sudz, or Hoooked Eucalyps (as long as you can get the right gauge).

Gauge: 20 sts & 30 rows = 10cm / 4” over stranded colourwork (Main Pattern Repeat Chart) in the round on 4.5mm needles after blocking.

Needles: 4mm / US 6 circular needles, 60-150cm / 24-60” length (depending on size worked) and needles suitable for working small circumferences in the round.
4.5mm / US 7 circular needles, 60-150cm / 24-60” length (depending on size worked) and needles suitable for working small circumferences in the round.

Note: Begin the yoke using shorter needles (or needles suitable for working small circumferences in the round), then change to longer circular needles as the circumference increases.
Always use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.

Notions: 9 stitch markers (including one unique for beginning of round), scrap yarn, tapestry needle

Notes: Fortuna’s Wheel is a top down raglan pullover, the neck shaping is worked flat, then joined and worked in the round. The front, back and sleeves are separated by striped raglan seams worked in alternating yarn A and yarn B in 1x1 Rib. Shaping is worked on either side of these raglan seams.
