Approximate Yarn Requirements: Fingering Weight Yarns for MC, CC1-CC5

Note: Yarn approximations are based on knitting the pattern as written. If you choose to modify the pattern, you may use more or less yarn than is described below. Please note that the yardage required for CC is the required amount needed for each of 5 mini skeins. For example, the samples for this pattern used 5 mini skeins that measured 92 yards each, for a total of 40 yards of contrast colors (CC1-CC5).
