Yarn: For this knitting pattern, we recommend using Anzula Cricket, a luxurious blend of 80% superwash merino wool, 10% cashmere, and 10% polyamide. With 250 yards (229 meters) per 4 oz (115 g) skein, you will need 6 (7, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 12) skeins in the vibrant poppy color to complete your project. This high-quality yarn not only provides warmth but also offers a soft touch against the skin, ideal for any knitted garment.

Needles: Please use Size 6 (4mm) circular needles along with a set of double-pointed needles (dpns) for this pattern. The circular needles will help you create a seamless finish, while the dpns will be perfect for working in the round when necessary.

Notions: Gather essential knitting notions before you start your project. You will need stitch markers (m), stitch holders, waste yarn for provisional stitches, a crochet hook, and a tapestry needle for weaving in those final ends. Having these supplies on hand will ensure a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience.

Gauge: Achieve the desired fit by maintaining a gauge of 22 stitches and 32 rows per 4 inches in stockinette stitch (St st). For the lace pattern, aim for 22 stitches and 30 rounds per 4 inches. Proper gauge is crucial for ensuring that your finished piece fits perfectly and matches the intended design.

This pattern is perfect for knitters of various skill levels looking to create a stunning, one-of-a-kind piece. With its exquisite lace details and luxurious yarn choice, this knitting project is a must-try for anyone eager to expand their crafting repertoire.
