The pattern comes with treble clef and bass clef charts for all sizes, and written instructions. Only print the pages you need.

Because the music design is fairly subtle, it works best with a smooth, solid yarn. The design gets lost in a variegated or tweed yarn.

Cascade 220 Superwash is a light worsted weight. Several of my testers had to go down a needle size to achieve the proper gauge.

My sample size 6 used almost all 660 yards. For peace of mind, you might want to buy an extra ball for this size. The other sizes have plenty of extra yardage.

Happy Knitting!
