The knitting pattern is based on a specific gauge, so it is important to match the given gauge.

Gauge after blocking: 10 cm = 24 stitches / 4 in = 24 stitches

Materials:

Circular needles that match your gauge. The sample was knit using US 2 (2.75 mm) and US 3 (3.25 mm) needles with a cable approx. 16-18 in (40-45 cm long). If you don’t have these sizes, try US 2.5 (3 mm) or US 4 (3.5 mm) needles – remember, everyone’s tension is different.
