Suggested Needles
• US 7 / 4.5 mm 16” / 41 cm circular
• US 11 / 8 mm or size needed to obtain Herringbone Stitch gauge, 16” / 41 cm circular
• DPNs or circulars, in larger needle size at preferred length for magic loop method
(for crown decreases)

Note! I suggest using interchangeable needles which will allow you to use a smaller size LHN for the Herringbone Stitch sections. This will not affect gauge but makes the Herringbone Stitch easier to work.

Notions
• Distinct beginning of round marker + 4 additional markers
• Darning needle & scissors
• Scrap yarn (optional) to place lifeline

Gauge Information
