MATERIALS REQUIRED:

YARN: Worsted weight yarn is recommended. Below are the approximate yardages:

For the sample, we used Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek, a 100% low pill acrylic yarn with a total yardage of 232 yds (142 g). The longer sample showcases the rich colorway ‘Brownie’, while the shorter sample features the vibrant colorway “Spice”.

NEEDLES: You will need US size 8 (5.0 mm) circular needles, either 16" or 24" (40 or 60 cm) in length. Alternatively, use the needle size required to match the gauge specified below.

OTHER MATERIALS:

• Yarn needle for weaving in ends
• Stitch marker to keep track of your rounds

GAUGE:

The pattern features an Openwork Rib Stitch, which is to be worked in the round. The gauge is as follows:

18 stitches and 25 rounds = 4” (10 cm).

To create the Openwork Rib Stitch, ensure you're working in the round with a multiple of 4 stitches. Here is how you do it:

• Rounds 1-5: *K2, P2; repeat from * around.
• Round 6: *YO, SKP, P2; repeat from * around.
