For 5 stitches per inch (sample is in Plymouth Yarn Cotton Soft), use #6 needles, requires 250 (300, 350, 400, 475, 530) yards

For 4 stitches per inch (sample is in Plymouth Yarn Fantasy Naturale Solid), use #8 needles, requires 195 (230, 275, 300, 360, 400) yards

At the end of the day, just use whatever needle size necessary for either 5 stitches per inch or 4 stitches per inch, and follow the appropriate instructions.

If you print this pattern, we recommend that you print it in color. Stitches or instructions in GREEN are for 5 stitches per inch gauge and those in BLUE are for 4 stitches per inch gauge. All other instructions apply to both gauges.
