For this project, we recommend using two skeins, totaling approximately 185g, with the stunning colorway: Glitter. This unique shade will add a touch of sparkle to your finished piece, making it perfect for gifting or for your own wardrobe.
Needles: To achieve the perfect tension and create beautiful stitches, you'll need a pair of US 7 (4.5 mm) circular or straight knitting needles. These versatile needles are ideal for working on a range of projects, from delicate shawls to cozy sweaters.
Other Notions: In addition to your yarn and needles, don’t forget to gather essential knitting notions. A tapestry needle is crucial for weaving in ends and ensuring your finished project looks polished. While optional, a row counter can be a handy tool to help you keep track of your progress as you work through the pattern.
Gauge: For optimal results, aim for a gauge of 21 stitches and 28 rows in a 4” (10 cm) square when using US 7 (4.5 mm) needles in garter stitch, after blocking. Proper gauge is key to a well-fitting and beautifully draping project, so be sure to check your swatch before beginning.
