You will need three circular needles:

1 x 100 cm 3.75mm needle
1 x 100 cm 4mm needle

And:
2 Stich markers
cable needle
1 metre of 7mm ribbon

Pattern Notes:
This is knitted in one piece on circular needles until the back opening. It is important to use stich markers to show the left and right sides as the shaping is worked either side of the stich markers (SM). When working in rounds read all rows on the chart from right to left. When working back and forth on straight needles read odd nos from right to left and even nos from left to right.

Gauge:
28 stitches and 32 rows to 10cm over skirt pattern on 4mm needles
23 stitches and 31 rows to 10cm over stocking stitch on 3.75mm needles
use larger or smaller needles if necessary to obtain correct tension
