DROPS Baby Merino + DROPS Baby Merino + DROPS Baby Merino

Have you tried knitting 3 strands of DROPS Baby Merino together? The resulting combination is super soft and gives nicely defined stitches. So why not try it working together DROPS Baby Merino 36, electric orange with 08, cerise and 14, purple.

The result has a knitting tension of about 16 stitches = 10 cm = 4" using 5.5 mm = US9 needles, which is a perfect fit for patterns in knitting tension group 17 - 16 stitches.

Remember however that knitting tension varies from person to person and that the suggested needle size is only a guide. You can adjust the needle size to get a different tension - or match the tension recommended in the pattern you are working with. Just make a swatch!
