MATERIALS

  • 4 (4, 5, 5, 6) (6, 7, 7, 8) balls of Purl Soho’s Echo Wool, 100% recycled wool yarn. Each ball of this sport- to light worsted/dk-weight yarn is 328 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 1150 (1200, 1420, 1555, 1690) (1850, 2085, 2260, 2365) total yards required. We used the color Blue Brume for the Cardigan and Tilled Field for the Henley.
  • US 4 (3.5 mm), 16-inch circular knitting needles
  • US 4, 32-inch circular needles
  • A set of size US 4 double pointed needles
  • Stitch markers
  • Stitch holders or scrap yarn
  • For Cardigan Version: 9 (9, 9, 9, 10) (10, 10, 10, 10) ½-inch buttons, like Purl Soho’s Medium Corozo Buttons in Gray Denim.
  • For Henley Version: 6 (6, 6, 6, 7) (7, 7, 7, 7) ½-inch buttons, like Purl Soho’s Medium Corozo Buttons in Kiln Red.

NOTE: If you want to use Magic Loop, you won’t need the 16-inch circular or double pointed needles… Just stick with the 32-inch ones and have a spare circular or double pointed needle handy, size US 4 or smaller!
