This pattern uses a sport weight yarn held double. I used all of one skein (which was actually 2 skeins since the yarn was held double), and a bit of a second skein (again, this was also 2, but you could probably take a third skein and double it upon itself). So, depending on how you double the yarn, you will need either 3 or 4 skeins total of a sport weight yarn.

Alternatively, you could use 2 skeins of a worsted weight, but yardage requirements may change depending on gauge.

I made this sweater with my youngest daughter in mind. She loves hard and has an enormous imagination. I thought the simplicity of the K2, P2 lines with the whimsy of the puffy sleeves added a unique blend that fits her personality to a T.
