Knitting Needles
• Size US 10/6mm DPN’s and 16” & 24” circular needles. These will be used for cuffs, hem, and neck ribbing. If using magic loop, a longer circular needle will work and eliminate need for DPN’s.
• US 11/8mm circular needles 16”, 24”or 30” and DPN’s. Body and sleeves are knitted in this size needle. The shorter circular needle work great when starting the yoke before moving on to longer needles as stitches increase. DPN are needed for knitting sleeves in the round. If using magic loop, you don’t need DPN’s.
