Gauge
Gauge
You can use any gauge! However, it is very important that you gauge swatch and determine your gauge before working this pattern in order to determine how many sts and rounds you need to work throughout this pattern to get the exact right fit.
Knitting Needles
Knitting Needles
You can use any size needles for this pattern. I recommend using a needle size that creates a nice fabric with the yarn you’ve chosen to work with.
You will also need an extra needle that is the same size as your main, working needle, or .5mm bigger or smaller. We will use this needle for the cast on method.
In terms of types of needles, you will need:
- 16" circular needles
- double pointed needles (DPNs) OR 36”+ circular needles to use with the magic loop method
