\u00b7 Sizes:<\/p>\n
According to the pattern:<\/p>\n
\u2013 1 and 2: 1 skein (Bastien c1) + 1\/2 (L\u00e9o cc 2) + 1\/2 (Ella cc 3) + 1\/2 (Fransesca cc 4) <\/p>\n
. 3: 1 skein of each color (c1) + 1 (cc2) + 1 (cc3) + 1 (cc4)<\/p>\n
Personally:<\/p>\n
I took the size 1 and 2 kit and did the same number of rows as size 1 and 2,<\/p>\n
with the number of stitches for size 3 and about 0.5 g per color was left.<\/p>\n
* Note that I knit very loosely (so, I use more yarn and I reduced my needles to 2.75 and 2.5 mm)<\/p>\n
\u2013 4, 6, 7: 2 skeins (c1) + 1 x (cc2) + 1 x (cc3) + 1 x (cc4) (according to the pattern)<\/p>\n
*for sizes 4 and 5 you could order the size 3 kit and reduce the sleeve length.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 8, 9: 2 skeins (c1) + 2 (cc2) + 2 (cc3) + 2 (cc4) = 9 skeins<\/p>\n

\u25ca 25 sts and 38 rows = 10 cm \/ 4″ in stockinette stitch with the larger needle, after blocking.
\n28 sts and 39 rows = 10 cm \/ 4″ in 1×1 rib with the smaller needle, after blocking.
