DK (double knit) and light worsted weight yarns are
recommended for this pattern. Both gauges work as long as you can get the recommended gauge.

Gauge: 20 sts & 27 rounds = 10cm / 4” over St st worked in the round on 4mm needles after blocking.
Needles: 4mm / US 6 circular needle, 40-60cm / 16-24” length (depending on size worked) AND needles suitable for working small circumferences in the round
3.75mm / US 5 circular needle, 40-60cm / 16-24” length (depending on size worked) AND needles suitable for working small circumferences in the round.
Note: Begin the yoke using needles suitable for working small circumferences in the round, then change to circular needles as the circumference increases.
Always use a needle/hook size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.
Notions: Stitch markers (2), spare DPN (for sizes 1-4), tapestry needle, one 10-12mm button (sizes 1-4 only)
Notes: Mini Kordy is worked from the top down almost entirely in the round, except for one small section that is worked back and forth to shape back. The first four smallest sizes have a split neck that fastens with a button at the left side to help make it a bit easier to get over little heads.
