Additionally, you'll need a Size 5 (3.75 mm) 29" circular needle and dpns. Don’t forget to adjust your needle size if necessary to achieve the correct gauge for your project.
Notions: Gather essential tools including markers (m), stitch holders or waste yarn, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches. These items will help streamline your knitting process and ensure a polished final piece.
Gauge: For the Dallas cabled sweater dress, the gauge to aim for is 24 stitches and 28 rows, which should measure 4" in the Cable Pattern worked on larger needles. Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for the perfect fit and overall look of your beautiful new sweater dress.
