HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

SUGGESTED NEEDLE(S)

Needles: 3.5 mm US4 / 40 cm 16 inches circular needle and 4.5 mm US7 double-pointed needles, or the required needles to obtain gauge. (I used a 7” /17.5 cm cable and 2”/ 5 cm long needles for crown shaping.) Or you can use DPNs. Designer note: I am a relaxed/loose knitter, so chances are you will need to go up a needle size or two.

GAUGE (4X4”):
16 stitches x 22 rows on 4.5 mm US7 needles = 10 x 10 cm 4 x 4 inches
