There has been a little confusion about the weight of yarn required for this pattern. As yarn weight varies so much between brands etc, please try to choose something that will give you the gauge required.

The first 3 photos are from the new version of the pattern. The other photos are from the original version, which only had the smallest 3 sizes.
