Needles:

  • Round needle 3 mm 80/100 cm for rib

  • Optionally: Round needle 4 mm for cast-on

NOTE: The above needle sizes are only suggestions. Do a gauge test to check what needle size you need to match the gauge, as different knitters will get different gauge. The stitches relax a bit in blocking, so make sure to wash your gauge swatch.
