Note: If you are using a single strand of true DK weight yarn, you would need 435 (480, 540, 610, 660) {710, 790, 835, 990, 1050} m / 475 (525, 590, 670, 720) {775, 865, 910, 1085, 1150} yds, including 10% allowance. A true DK weight yarn would give a more opaque, dense fabric. If you prefer to maintain the open look, use fingering weight yarn instead.
