Yarn & colors
You knit with 2 strands of MYPZ Chunky Kidmohair dk: 1 strand Off White + 1 strand scrap yarn (different colors and lengths tied together)

How many meters of yarn do you need in total when knitting this cardigan in one color? We base this on a (hairy) DK-weight yarn, such as our MYPZ Chunky Kidmohair dk: 
Size 116 (Age 5-6) ± 400 m (≈ 437 yds) (so 200m off white and 200m scraps)
Size 122 (Age 6-7) ± 445 m (≈ 487 yds)
Size 128 (Age 7-8) ± 470 m (≈ 514 yds)
Size 134 (Age 8-9) ± 515 m (≈ 563 yds)
Size 140 (Age 9-10) ± 565 m (≈ 618 yds)
Size 146 (Age 10-11) ± 600 m (≈ 656 yds)
Size 152 (Age 11-12) ± 650 m (≈ 711 yds)
Size 158 (Age 12-13) ± 710 m (≈ 776 yds)
Size 164 (Age 13-14) ± 770 m (≈ 842 yds)

Half of it is worked in white, and the other half consists of leftover
yarn pieces tied together.

COLOUR USE
You always knit with two strands held together — one strand is always white.
The second strand is made from various colours, created by tying together leftover yarns. Note: Regularly add a white scrap strand into your mix as well!

JOINING SCRAP YARN:
Tie different strands together using a magic knot — this means you won’t have to weave in all the ends later. Make sure the knot is pulled very tight, otherwise it may loosen over time. Our Chunky Kidmohair DK works perfectly for this technique!
However, if you use a smooth, non-hairy yarn, the knot may slip more easily — keep that in mind.
You can watch how to make the magic knot in the video on our YouTube channel.
