If you copy and paste this to your word processor or email, hit enlarge. The Sizes, (a,b,c.d) will line up with the yarn amount.
Also I wrote to Patons and asked what yardage would be used because they didn’t use length of yarn back then they used weight only.
It was 160 yards per 50 gr ball of sport/DK weight yarn.
I used Bernat Softee Baby, Lemon Citron, 140 g/5 oz per skein.
The sweater coat and bonnet was only one and a half skeins. I still have a a lot of yarn to make booties and leg warmers.
