Rundpinde 5 og 6 mm (40 og 80 cm).
Rundpinde 6,5-7 mm (80 cm) til mønsteret.

Strikkefasthed
16 m x ca. 20-22 p glatstrik med bundfarven = 10 x 10 cm på p 6 mm.
16 m x ca. 19 p glatstrik med mønster = 10 x 10 cm på p 6,5-7 mm.
Dvs. strik mønsteret på ½-1 nummer tykkere pinde end det ensfarvede. Det er vigtigt for pasformen, at mønsteret ikke strikkes strammere end det ensfarvede.
