I just decided it was better to have too much than too little. And I could always use leftovers for clogs since it'll felt.. or something.Loplollybluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02676253765422758932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341173294790021096.post-57247247037125261442008-01-16T23:56:00.000-08:002008-01-16T23:56:00.000-08:00I made mine in a 44 and bought the 1600m but had n...I made mine in a 44 and bought the 1600m but had nearly 400m left over!Want to do it again though,it such a comfy stylish pattern!My Five Sonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369103021745393399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341173294790021096.post-55674309340542531272008-01-16T12:47:00.000-08:002008-01-16T12:47:00.000-08:00I made a 52" size based on the original pattern (s...I made a 52" size based on the original pattern (so not the newly available one). I used less than 2000 yards.<BR/><BR/>Someone asked a similar question on Ravelry though, and the answer came back that the newly released pattern has some tweaking that takes more yarn. For example, it's longer (and boy do I wish mine were longer), the button band is wider, and I think there was something else but I can't remember exactly.<BR/><BR/>No idea on the sleeves though.. I just followed the original instructions plus a few stitches.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201389288203986193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341173294790021096.post-87890670151663694382008-01-14T16:36:00.000-08:002008-01-14T16:36:00.000-08:00I knit the 48inch size, with a pretty long length,...I knit the 48inch size, with a pretty long length, roll up sleeves, a full hood and wide button bands with less than 1600 yards, at about 14 stitches/inch. I think it came out about 52ish inches. <BR/><BR/>3000 yards seems crazy to me too.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359607261990308091noreply@blogger.com
