• One 41-stitch wide Cable panel from chart or written instructions measures approximately 6¾” wide with Size A needle, after blocking
• 20 stitches & 40 rounds = 4″ in 2×2 ribbing with Size B needle, slightly stretched after blocking

NEEDLES

Size A (for Main Fabric)

• One 16″ circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain cable gauge listed
• Suggested Size: 4 mm (US 6)

Size B (for Ribbing)

• One 16″ circular needle* in size needed to obtain ribbing gauge listed
• Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)

Size C (optional; for Tubular Cast On only)

• One 16″ circular needle* two sizes smaller than Size B
• Suggested Size: 2¾ mm (US 2)

*32″ circular needle can be used instead of 16″ circular needles and DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round.

Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
