between 6 and 10.5 oz of sock to sport weight yarn, or about 10.5 oz of dk-aran weight yarn
two stitchmarkers
appropriate sized needles for your yarn selection

Exact gauge is not critical, work with large enough needles that you achieve a nice drapey fabric with your selected yarn (I used US 10.5 needles for Aran weight yarn (at 6.5 sts per 2 inches) and US 7 needles for sport weight yarn

Worked top down, choice of garter or stockinette ruffle border.
