Uses two contrasting colors of yarn - a 2 oz skein of each color of the same weight of yarn: pattern suggests dk, sport, worsted, or yarn of choice and suggests yarn weight and stitch count for blanket or shawl as alternative.

One circular or two double pointed needles several sizes larger than you would normally use with the yarn you’ve chosen.

Designer’s gauge (gauge not essential):
43 sts = about 8”; 6 rows = about 1” (sports weight yarn & size 8 American needles)
43 sts = about 9”; 7 rows = about 1” (worsted weight yarn & size 10 American needles)
