MATERIALS

  • 2 skeins of Habu’s Dyed Bamboo, 100% bamboo. I used the color Silver.
  • US 4 (3.5 mm), 24, 32 or 47-inch circular needles

Please Note: Habu’s Dyed Bamboo is no longer available but we recommend, instead, 3 (3, 4, 4, 4, 4) skeins of Purl Soho’s Burnish, 100% rayon from bamboo. Each skein is 339 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 850, (930, 1090, 1180, 1275, 1375) required.

GAUGE
Before blocking: 24 stitches x 44 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch
After blocking: 20 stitches x 36 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch

Stitch and row counts given in the pattern reflect final measurements after blocking.

Note: Whatever yarn you use to make this pattern, be sure to block your swatch and make sure you’re getting the correct ‘after blocking’ gauge.
