Pattern is for fingering/sock weight yarn. You may use any weight by adapting the number of stitches cast on. Pattern is a 15 stitch repeat. For example worsted weight suggestion would be a 90 stitch cast on for an adult large. Use 2.25 to 2.75 mm circulars with a 40 inch cable for the magic loop method and double points for working the crown.

There are some great notes from kareninkenai on Ravelry who test knit this pattern (Red and Gray photos).
