NEEDLES
Size A (for Main Fabric):
One 32” circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPN) in size needed to obtain gauge

Size B (for Ribbing):
One each 24” and 32” circular needles, and one set of DPNs, one size smaller than Size A
Suggested Size: 3¾ mm (US 5)
Size C (for Tubular Cast On and Neckband):
One 32” circular needle and one set of DPNs, one size smaller than Size B
Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)
Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On, due to variances in individual work. Please test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
32” circular needle can be used instead of DPNs if using the Magic Loop Method for small-circumference circular knitting.
