Approximately 220 yards of bulky-weight yarn (sample was knit in Miss Babs K2 – merino wool).
Cowl takes approximately 155 yards. Mitts approximately 65 yards
Two US 11/8 mm circular needles or size needed to obtain gauge – one with a 24” or smaller length, the other can be any length (see note below)
Cable needle or single dpn the same size as your gauge needles or smaller
Stitch markers
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Note
In this pattern, the mitts are knit on 2 circulars. Feel free to use dpns or magic loop if that is your preference.
