We recommend using 2 balls of Brooklyn Tweed Arbor, which is made from 100% USA-grown Targhee Wool. Each ball contains 145 yards (132 meters)/50g of beautifully soft yarn. The sample shown in the image features the stunning Fleet colorway, perfect for a versatile project. **Needles** You will require a few different needles for this project to achieve the best results. Use a US4 (3.5mm) 16”/40cm circular needle for the initial stages. For the main body, switch to a US6 (4.0mm) 16”/40cm circular needle. Additionally, you will need either a set of US6 (4.0mm) double-pointed needles (DPNs) or a 32”/100cm circular needle if you prefer the magic loop method for working in the round. **Gauge** Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for your project. Aim for 20 stitches and 30 rows to equal 4 inches (10cm) in stockinette stitch, using US 6/4.0mm needles. Be sure to check your gauge after blocking to ensure the perfect fit and drape for your knitted item. **Size** This pattern is designed to create a finished piece with dimensions of Length: 10¾ inches (27cm) and Width: 8¾ inches (22cm).
