NEEDLES

Size A (for Main Fabric)

• One 32″ circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain gauge listed 
• Suggested Size: 4½ mm (US 7)

Size B (for Ribbing)

• One each 24″ and 32″ circular needles and one set of DPNs*, five sizes smaller than size A
• Suggested Size: 2¾ mm (US 2)

Size C (optional; for Tubular Cast On only)

• One 32″ circular needle and one set of DPNs*, one size smaller than Size B
• Suggested Size: 2¼ mm (US 1)

*32″ circular needle can be used instead of DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round (e.g. Sleeves).

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.

Please note: the stitch patterns in this garment are charted only.
