Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Mini sweater’s 4 mm gauge?
Use the Baby specification: 20 stitches × 32 rows in texture on 4.5 mm needles after washing and blocking. The Mini version has a different row gauge.
Does Moby Sweater Baby need mohair?
No. The designer names Double Sunday on its own for this version. Thin elastic thread is separately required for the neck edge.
