How much yarn do I need?

The pieces' measurements, your gauge and the skein — grams, metres and skeins, rounded up. An estimate: the swatch has the last word.

Garment

Chest circumference (cm)

Body length (cm)

Sleeve length (cm)

Upper arm circumference (cm)

Wrist circumference (cm)

Stitches per 10 cm

Rows per 10 cm

Length of one skein (m)

Weight of one skein (g)

From the label: «200 m / 50 g» → 200 and 50. A cone's 1/15 Nm is 1500 m per 100 g → 1500 and 100.
