The pattern contains 3 gauge options and multiple size options so that any flatbed machine may be used. Suggested yarns for bulky(mid-gauge, standard) machines are worsted(DK, sport-fingering). This pattern is part of the HILARIOUS HAMPERS book which has 6 different hamper patterns. The book contains interactive links to this and many other helpful videos. This is a good project for making use of odds and ends of yarn.
