For best results use smooth yarn with good stitch definition.

1 removable stitch marker

crochet hook for provisional cast on

Skills needed
Provisional cast-on, knit, purl, decreases, yarn-overs, working in the round. Basic brioche would be helpful, but is not necessary.

Take time to make a gauge swatch. If necessary, adjust needle size.
