Gauges
To find your needle sizes you need to swatch for the stranded colourwork and the lace.
Stranded Colourwork: 30 sts / 33 rnds to 10cm / 4” using size B needles.
Lace: 24 sts / 33 rows/rnds to 10cm / 4” using size B needles.
Single‐colour stockinette: 30 sts / 40 rows to 10cm / 4” using size A needles.
Needles & Notions
The gauges were achieved with the following needles. To work the pattern as written, you must swatch and use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking. The underarm of the sleeves is worked in plain stockinette. If you do not know whether your stockinette gauge tends to be different than your colourwork gauge, I suggest making a single‐colour swatch in addition to your colourwork swatch to compare gauges. If it is different, then you need to go down one to two needle sizes for the single‐colour rows under the arm and the pattern is written as such.
Size A: 2.5mm needles (US 1.5) of varying lengths
Size B: 3mm (US 2.5) needles of varying lengths; you will need two needles at least 100cm / 40” in length to work across the wingspan
You will also need: spare needles or interchangeable cables for holding sts, stitch markers; removable markers; crochet hook, tapestry/darning needle with sturdy sock yarn, sewing machine, or felting tools for reinforcing steeks; optional: grosgrain ribbon for finishing the steeks.
