Frequently asked questions
Do the two yarn columns mean two strands together?
No. Choose Tynn Peer Gynt or Sunday. Each is a separate single-strand designer option with its own metre total.
Is Mini the same tension as the adult slipover?
No. Mini uses 29 stitches × 40 rows per 10 cm; the adult version uses 24 stitches × 30 rows, so follow the Mini pattern and quantity table.
