tapestry needle, 3 buttons for sizes XS, S, M, L and 4 buttons for sizes XL, 1X, 2X, sewing needle with thread to attach them
STITCH PATTERN:
Stockinette Stitch (St st): Knit on RS, purl on WS rows
GAUGE:
18 sts/24 rows = 4”/4” needles size US8 (5 mm) or size to achieve gauge (make a gauge over 30 sts to get a very precise measurement)
The pattern is very precise and it is necessary that you can follow a pattern by rows and not by measurement.
