*32” circular needle can be used instead of DPNs if using 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. Please test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
