Any other materials needed for the specific project you are making
YARN & YARDAGE
Yarn
Two contrasting colors in fingering, DK, or worsted weight yarn. Since yardage will vary drastically depending on what charts are used and what kind of project is made, no yardage recommendation is provided in this pack.
GAUGE
Because these charts can be worked at any size, gauge is not very critical. However, I have included my personal recommendations below:
Fingering Weight:
32 stitches x 40 rows = 4” / 10 cm over colorwork after blocking.
DK Weight
24 stitches x 28 rows = 4” / 10 cm over colorwork after blocking.
Worsted Weight
20 stitches x 24 rows = 4” / 10 cm over colorwork after blocking.
