Gauge 4 in / 10cm – 14-15 stitches

Recommended yarn: any to obtain the gauge. Aran or thicker Worsted for regular look, or thinner yarn on larger needles for daintier look.

Recommended needle size: to obtain the gauge. Your needle size might vary depending on how tight or loose your knitting is. Please be sure to make a gauge swatch to make sure you obtain the gauge. For most, 6mm needles work the best.

Small amount of yarn (up to 20 grams) for the skirt part and needles to obtain the same gauge.
