Remind me how much yarn for a pair of longies for Lola?

Postby gilbertandmartha » Sat Sep 07, 2013 12:00 am

i'm thinking probably aran, but if you know in DK too that would be fab.

she's in about 18month old to 2 year size. (I know that's not that specific!)

@babyroo can you help me?

I can do a large with 22" hips, 19" rise and 10" leg with 200g total of aran. If you use DK then 150g would probably be enough, but I don't knit enough with DK to be very accurate sorry

Ok I'll have a look at your colourways and put an order in with you. Are you ok with posting to the US?
