You'll also need a set of US Size 4 (3.5mm) and Size 6 (4mm) double pointed needles (5 in total) or a circular needle that is at least 40” long if you prefer the magic loop method (feel free to check our section for an explanation of the magic loop technique). Additionally, gather a stitch marker, a pair of scissors, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches.
**Gauge**
To achieve the best results, be sure to check your gauge. Aim for 18 stitches and 28 rounds = 4” in stockinette stitch or Whorl Stitch worked in the round on the larger needle post-blocking. For the smaller needle, strive for 25 stitches and 28 rounds = 4” in Twisted Rib Stitch, unstretched. Taking the time to check your gauge can save you time and ensure a perfect fit.
