Blocked Gauge

Gauge measurement should be taken after blocking.

35 stitches/48 rounds = 4 in/10 cm in Stockinette stitch with smaller needle

35 stitches/35 rounds = 4 in/10 cm in Stranded Colourwork stitch with larger needle

Needles

Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain correct gauge. Use set DPNs, long circular needle for magic loop method, or other preferred small- circumference knitting method.

Ribbing & Single-colour Stockinette stitch: US 0/2 mm needles

Colourwork: US 2/2.75 mm needles

Notions

• stitch markers

• tapestry needle

Skills

I consider this an intermediate level pattern. Techniques used include working colourwork from charted instructions, working a short row heel, and decreasing.
