You only need to know the basics cast on, knit, purl and bind off for this beautiful piece. The pattern has written instructions row by row in English and even a chart included if you prefer working with charts.

You will need:

  • Circular needles (US 6/4 mm)
  • Yarn (merino wool, cotton, acrylic or any other DK/worsted/8 ply yarn)
