Yarn
Sample colours shown:
Needles
- 2.25 mm needles for ribbing and stockinette
- 2.5 mm needles for colourwork
Suitable for magic loop, DPNs, two circulars, or short circular needles.
Gauge
- 34 sts × 44 rnds = 10 cm in stockinette
- 34 sts × 36 rnds = 10 cm in colourwork
A larger needle size is recommended for the colourwork sections, as many knitters naturally knit stranded knitting more tightly.
You can find additional details and project inspiration on the Ravelry page.
