Gauge Information: Achieving the right gauge is crucial for your project. Aim for 21 stitches and 32 rows = 4”/10 cm in Stockinette stitch using a size larger needle, after blocking. If you prefer Moss stitch, 20 stitches and 32 rounds = 4”/10 cm on the larger needle, also after blocking. Always check your gauge to ensure the best fit and appearance for your finished knit.

Needle Suggestions: You’ll need size US 6/4 mm needles for the bulk of the work—ideally two circular needles (24-32”/60-80 cm long) along with two additional circular needles (size US 5/3.75 mm) in the same lengths, as well as one set of double-pointed needles in each size. Be prepared to adjust your needle size as necessary to achieve the desired gauge. Having these tools on hand will help you create this lovely project with ease and confidence.
