YARN SUGGESTION
For the example shown in this pattern, I used King Cole Cotton Top DK (78% Premium Acrylic, 22% Cotton), 100g/260m/284yd, shade 4221 Stone.

You can use any Acrylic, Cotton or Woollen DK yarn for this pattern, depending on what warmth, structure or drape you desire from the finished product. Bear in mind that some yarns will use less/more yardage than the yarn that I have used.
