Materials Required:

For this project, you will need approximately 440 yards of fingering weight yarn for each color, totaling 880 yards. I used the luxurious Manos Del Uruguay Alegria yarn in the colors C1: Nobuk and C2: Foil, which beautifully complement each other in this design.

Ensure you have a pair of US 5 (3.75mm) circular needles, with at least a 24” length to accommodate all the stitches comfortably. You'll also need a yarn needle and a stitch marker to help keep track of your progress.
