Yarn: Crafted using the finest **Red Riding Hood Yarns Belle 8ply Superwash**, made from 100% premium wool, this material boasts 434 meters (475 yards) per 200g skein. For this project, you'll need 1 to 2 skeins in the vibrant **colorway: Fun that is funny**, depending on the size you choose, ensuring your finished dress will be as lively as it is lovely!
Needles: To achieve the best results, use a 3.75 mm (US #5) circular needle, providing the size needed for gauge, along with double-pointed needles (dpns). For finer detailing, a size 3.5 mm (US #4) needle will be required, as will a size 3.25 mm (US #3) needle for a snug fit. All needles should be 60 cm (24”) in length for comfortable knitting.
Other Supplies: You'll also need 5 stitch markers, 2 cable needles, and a tapestry needle for weaving in those ends. Keep your project organized with stitch holders and scrap yarn as you create this beautiful dress.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 21 stitches and 32 rows over 10 cm (4 inches) in stockinette stitch worked in the round with the largest needles. Taking the time to check your gauge is crucial, as it allows you to adjust your needle size to obtain the correct measurement, ensuring a perfect fit and finish for your DOODAD dress.
