Estimated Total Yardage/Meters: You'll need approximately 110 (120, 130) yards / 101 (110, 119) meters of yarn to complete your project.
NEEDLES/HOOKS: For this knitting pattern, use US size #7 (4.5 mm) double-pointed needles (dpns) or long circular needles for seamless knitting in the round. Optional tools include a US size G crochet hook (4 mm) for the Provisional Cast On, or a similar size to your knitting needles, along with a spare set of knitting needles for the grafting section. Remember to use any size needle or hook necessary to achieve the correct gauge.
OTHER MATERIALS: To make your knitting project easy and enjoyable, gather a stitch marker, a darning needle for finishing, a cable needle or a spare dpn, scrap yarn for the Provisional Cast On, scissors, and blocking mats with pins for effective finishing.
