Lovely work Holly. Did you find it took more yarn than stated in the pattern? I knit this in Panda 8 ply (which is same as Dk) and it took about 240g for the largest size.

I've just weighed the yarn I had left. I had 2 100g balls of the Robin yarn I've linked (300m per 100g), and I have 94g left! So I made the largest size with about 315-320m assuming they weighed exactly 100g when I started. They recommend 3 balls with 165m each for the largest size (so could be anything up to 495m of yarn), while I've manged to use the same yardage of yarn for the largest size that they recommend for smallest.
Maybe it's the type of yarn I'm using and because I'm quite a tight knitter (have hand and wrist issues so struggle to knit looser) that I'm using less, but checking out a couple of Panda 8ply yarns, they seem to have a similar length per weight so not sure. xx
