Hi, Katie,
I download your Mermaid Tears Tee pattern. Does the pattern only take 1 skein of yarn? I want to be sure before I order my yarn 🙂
Thank you!

Hi Jeanne, This pattern took me about 800 yards, for size L, which is between 7 and 8 balls of the Knit Picks Kindred yarn, it would be different if you chose a different brand though. Hope that helps!

I really like this pattern for summer
Katie says
I love it SO much but I’ll be honest I can only wear it through spring, I get really overheated down in FL!
Thanks for the nice comment Wendy! <3 Made me smile to read it.
Happy hooking,
Katie
