NEEDLES

16 inch US 2.5 (3.0 mm) circular needles and/or set of US 2.5 (3.0 mm) DPNs
16 inch US 8 (5.0 mm) circular needles and/or set of US 8 (5.0 mm) DPNs


NOTIONS

Tapestry needle for weaving in ends


YARN

286 yards (262 m) / 75 grams of Fingering weight yarn in main colour
286 yards (262 m) / 75 grams of Fingering weight yarn in contrast colour


TIPS

I recommend winding your fingering weight yarn into 3 balls for each colour, as you’ll be holding 3 strands of yarn for the stockinette section.

To bind off cut the yarn with a 4 inch tail, thread the tail through the live stitches 2-3 times, and then cinch tight and weave in the tail.
