MATERIALS

Yarn: You'll need super bulky yarn to achieve the best results. This pattern is shown using Malabrigo Rasta, one of the coziest options available. You will require 60 (65, 75, 85) yards or 55 (60, 70, 80) meters of yarn, depending on the size you choose to knit.

Needles: Choose the needle type that suits your preferred method of knitting in the round—be it 16-inch / 40 cm circular, double-pointed needles, or the magic loop technique. For this pattern, you'll need US size 13 / 9 mm needles to create the perfect gauge.

Notions: Make sure you have a stitch marker and a tapestry needle handy for weaving in those pesky ends at the finish line!
