Fresh Start Slippers

**Yarn:** To create this stunning knitting project, you will need two colours of fingering weight yarn. Each colour should have approximately 200-250 yards to ensure you have enough material. The yarn is held double throughout the pattern, which adds both depth and richness to the fabric.

**Suggested Yarn:** For the main color (MC), we recommend using Poppy's Sock Yarn in Natural, which comes in a skein of 400 yards. For the contrasting color (CC1), opt for RSBSY Co Cashmerino Sock in the vibrant hue Taste the Rainbow, available in a skein of 420 yards. These yarn choices not only blend beautifully but also provide a soft and luxurious feel to your finished piece.

**Needles:** You will need a US3 (3.25mm) 32” circular needle. Feel free to use a different needle size as necessary to achieve the correct gauge for your project. The right needles will help ensure that your stitches are even and professional-looking.

**Gauge:** To achieve the perfect fit and appearance, aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 36 rounds per 4” in stockinette stitch when knitting in the round. Checking your gauge before you start is key to ensuring that your finished item turns out exactly as you envision it.

**Notions:** Don’t forget to gather a few essential notions! You will need stitch markers to help keep track of your progress, a cable needle for any cabling work included in the pattern, and a darning needle for weaving in ends. These tools are crucial for a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience.

This comprehensive pattern description is perfect for knitters of all levels looking to create a unique and beautiful piece. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started, this project will challenge and delight you while enhancing your knitting skills!
