DK stands for 'Double Knitting'. It refers to the weight of the yarn, which is a medium weight.
You can use a different yarn, but you must check the gauge to ensure it matches the pattern. The pattern is designed for King Cole Big Value Tweed DK.
This yarn is available at most local yarn stores and online retailers.
Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level.
If you make a mistake, carefully unravel the stitches back to the error and correct it. Consider using stitch markers to help keep track of rows and stitches.
While the pattern is not specifically for beginners, intermediate knitters should be able to follow the instructions.
You will need 3.25mm and 4.0mm knitting needles.
A raglan sleeve is a sleeve that extends in one piece fully to the collar, with a diagonal seam running from the underarm to the neckline.
Refer to online knitting tutorials or consult with an experienced knitter for clarification.
Adjust needle size to match the pattern gauge. Knit another swatch and measure again.
Purchase additional yarn of the same dye lot, if available, or consider modifying the design slightly to conserve yarn.
