Materials Needed: For this project, you will need 86 yards (143g) of super bulky weight yarn. I recommend using Malabrigo Rasta yarn for its exceptional softness and warmth. Additionally, gather the following tools: US 13 (9.0mm) 16” (40cm) circular needles, US 15 (10.0mm) 16” (40cm) circular needles, US 15 (10.0mm) double pointed needles, a stitch marker, a cable needle, and a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends.

Skills and Stitches Required: This pattern is designed for knitters who are familiar with basic knit/purl techniques, as well as cable knitting. You’ll also need to know how to work decrease stitches such as slip slip knit (ssk) and knit two together (k2tog). Lastly, this project involves knitting in the round with both circular and double-pointed needles, making it a great way to enhance your knitting skills!
