TOOLS:
Needles
- Size 3.5mm/US 4 circular needle, 80cm / 32” length (or size needed to obtain gauge) to knit the garment, and sleeves. If not using magic loop for sleeves, then a set of double pointed needles will be required.
- Additional 60 – 80cm / 24 – 32” circular needle for placing sts on hold and for the 3-needle bind off.
- A spare gauge size DPN, or 0.25mm (1 US size) larger than gauge size needle depending on how tight your bind off is. If you tend to be tight, then opt for the larger needle to complete the 3-needle bind off. Stitch markers: 1 unique for EOR, 1 removable, and up to 6 additional for pattern repeats. Tapestry/Darning needle Row counter is recommended (optional)
