MATERIALS NEEDED FOR KNITTING PROJECT: • 16 inch (40 cm) US 4 (3.5 mm) circular needles or alternatively, US 4 (3.5 mm) double pointed needles for versatility. • Original yarn suggestion: DROPS Nepal, a luxurious blend of 65% wool and 35% alpaca, available in 82 yards/1.75 oz (75 m/50 g) skeins.
For this pattern, you will require 2 skeins in the stunning black color (#uni colour 8903) and 2 skeins in a pristine white (#uni colour 1101). If you prefer to substitute yarn, ensure that it meets the same proportions of approximately 1.75 oz (50g) each, with about 82 yards (75m) per skein for optimal results.
Additional tools to have on hand: • Scissors for cutting yarn, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends. These tools will help you achieve a polished finish. RECOMMENDED BUT NOT REQUIRED: • Row counter to accurately keep track of each knitted row, which helps maintain your knitting rhythm; and a stitch marker to easily identify the beginning of your rows, enhancing your overall knitting experience.
GAUGE: For this pattern, aim for a gauge of 24 stitches x 28 rows = 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm) when worked in Stockinette stitch after blocking. While achieving this gauge can improve the fit and drape of your finished project, please note that gauge is not critical for this particular pattern, allowing for flexibility in your yarn choices.
