Materials: For this project, you will need 50g of your chosen Medium Weight, Aran, or Worsted yarn. I personally used So Crafty Knit & Purl Ombre Yarn from Aldi, which comes in 200g/382yds/350m per ball, composed of 80% acrylic and 20% wool. Additionally, you will require 5mm (US size 8) knitting needles, a 5mm cable needle (US size 8), scissors, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches.
Gauge: Achieving the correct gauge is essential for perfect fit and appearance. Aim for 16 stitches and 20 rows to recreate a 10cm square using stocking stitch. If your gauge differs, consider using larger or smaller sized needles to meet the recommended measurement.
