Many of my testers used a single strand of DK–Worsted weight yarn for example Drops Air, Cascade 220, Borgo de Pazzi New Cedro. Drops Air and other blown yarns give a similar fuzzy look without being overly warm or heavy. The light blue sample is knit in Cascade 220.

NEEDLES
3.5 mm circular needles (preferred cable length for neckband, crew neck)
4 mm circular needles (preferred cable length for neckband, hem and cuffs)
4.5 mm circular needles (preferred cable length for body and sleeves)

CONSTRUCTION
Baltic Breeze pullover is worked seamlessly from top down starting from the back panel. Back and front are worked flat until the underarm and then joined in the round. Stitches for the collar are picked up later so you can choose whether you want to add a full turtleneck or a crew neck. The pattern includes a chart as well as written instructions for the textured details.

Difficulty
Intermediate
Includes techniques like German short rows, working in a textured pattern flat and in the round (reading your knitting) and picking up stitches both horizontally and vertically.
