or
284 yds (260m) ea of 5 colors #3 dk weight yarn
H/8 (5mm) crochet hook

Scissors

Shown in:

Note: 4 balls each color for a rectangular shawl with 2 stripe repeats per color. 8 balls each color for a large afghan with 4 stripe repeats per color.

Knit Picks:

CotLin: #3 Dk weight 70% Tanguis Cotton, 30% Linen; 123 yds per 50gm skein; suggested needle size US 5 – 7. I think the drape and weight of this yarn would be comparable to Be So Baby Yarn. It comes in 44 colors and retails for $4.99 per skein.

Sirdar:

Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo DK; #3 Dk weight 80% bamboo / 20% wool; 104 yds per 50gm ball; Suggested needle size US6. I think the drape and weight of this yarn would be comparable to Be So Baby Yarn. It comes in 12 colors and retails for $6.50 per ball.
