Gauge
22 stitches and 34 rows = 4” / 10 cm in stockinette stitch with C1 Yarn held double using Size A needles, after blocking
24 stitches and 38 rows = 4” / 10 cm in 2x2 ribbing with C1 Yarn held double using Size C needles, after blocking
Note: The use of a smaller needle for the ribbing fabric is intentional to create a denser fabric. We suggest testing needle size for both ribbing and stockinette stitch gauge.

One 24” / 60 cm circular needle
3.75 mm / US 5 or size needed to obtain gauge listed
Needle B (for Cast On)
One 24” / 60 cm circular needle one size smaller than Needle A
3.5 mm / US 4
Needle C (for Ribbing)
One 24” / 60 cm circular needle two sizes smaller than Needle A
3.25 mm / US 3
Needle D (for Neckband)
One 24” / 60 cm circular needle three sizes smaller than Needle A
