PLEASE NOTE: the above listed gauge is based on my Single-Color Sample which was knit on US Size 6 (4mm) Needles and in DK Weight. The above listed yardage is just an example for using various weights of yarn.

Talk is Sheep was designed to work until you use up just under half of your yarn on hand, so she can be worked to any size. This Pattern can also be worked up at any gauge and with any weight of yarn; just adjust your needle size to match the fabric you desire. The Yardage estimates below are for the Samples which were worked up in 100% Superwash DK weight yarn, however, this combination of stitch patterns will look good in yarn of any fiber content. I also took into account that this Pattern will look great in a variegated colorway thanks to the stitches used.
The Pattern will NOT change regardless of the Needle or weight of Yarn used. You will be alternating between two Pattern Repeats until you use either 45% of your yarn or are happy with the size which would be doubled. Then there are two Pattern Repeats for the decrease side.

The entire Pattern is both Charted and Written. There are two PDF’s included, Single Color and Three Color. The Three Color does contain color-coded Charts.
