  The yardage estimates are rounded up to make sure you have plenty of yarn for your size. Yardage may vary depending on the length of your sleeves and body of the sweater.

  7 skeins/colors of fingering weight yarn (100g each skein) is enough for the XS – XL bubbles (MC).

  I recommend having at least 8 skeins/colors for the 2XL – 5XL sizes for your MC bubbles.

  2 skeins of fingering weight yarn (100g each) is enough yarn for the CC collar & cuffs for all sizes.

  Needles
  US 5 / 3.75mm circular in 40” / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge
  US 4 / 3.5mm circular in 40” / 100cm length or one size smaller than larger needle

  Magic loop method is used for knitting sleeves in the rnd. You can substitute a smaller circumference circular needle or DPNs for the sleeves too.

  22 sts & 44 rows = 4” / 10cm in bubble stitch after blocking
