This project was knitted on a LK150 using Double Knitting 100% acrylic. Any Mid gauge knitting machine can be used but be sure to check the gauge before you begin.
Note:- When using hand knitting yarn the LK150 to test for the tension, the yellow ruler may not correspond for the row number. You will get a more accurate measurement when using a tension square for testing. For the yarn used during the testing of this pattern the most accurate was stitch dial 4.
