One size - 1 ball (100 g), col 50
Circular needles: size 7 mm and 8 mm tips with 60 cm cable
Others: darning needle with large eye, stitch marker, scissors, tape measure.
TENSION
10 x 10 cm = 12 stitches and 14 rows in stockinette stitch using 7 mm needles.
It is very important to check your gauge and measure the tension correctly to achieve the same results and measurements as the pattern.
If the gauge is different, try adjusting the needle size up or down by half a size until you get the correct measurement.
STITCHES USED
Stockinette stitch in the round:
Round 1 and following rounds (RS): knit all sts.
Joining in the round: slip the first st from the left needle to the right needle purl-wise, pass the last cast-on st over the slipped st and off the
needle, pull the yarn tail to tighten the st, place a BOR marker to indicate the beginning of the round and move it up at the end of each
following round.
