You’ll require a total of 190 grams, specifically in the beautiful colorway of Ice Blue (color 11). Additionally, gather your knitting tools: 3 mm (US 3) 80 cm (32”) circular needles or 3 mm (US 3) straight needles. Other essentials include stitch markers, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and scissors.
