This pattern includes 2 types of instructions:
• Written pattern for 2 sizes in pattern gauge;
• Recipe to calculate for a different gauge (within 15-19 sts range) / desired sowl circumference.

2 adult sizes: fitted (loose) 25 (30) cm / 10 (12)” wide and 40cm/ 16” high

Yarn
You will need ~180 (210) m / 195 (230) yds of bulky weight (~100m/110yds per 100g/3.5oz) yarn with high wool content (can be merino / alpaca / any other animal fiber). For best stitch definition, suggest using single-ply yarns.

Original yarn: Rainbow Bird ‘Rainbow Wool XS’
My testers have used:
• Infinity Design ‘Tundra’
• Lana Grossa ‘Feltro’
• Quince & Co ‘Puffin’
• Sandnes Garn ‘Easy’ (discontinued)

Needles: 7 mm/ (between US 10.5 and 11) circular needles on ~40cm/16” cable

Gauge: 16 sts by ~18 rounds per 10cm/4” square in main print (slip-stitch rib) after wet-blocking unstretched. You can also work with your own gauge within 15-19 sts range (for tighter gauge you would need different ease).

Notions
