Be sure to buy additional yarn if you plan to add length to your project.
Finished size and amount of yarn needed may vary depending on yarn choice and gauge….so buy extra yarn just in case!
GAUGE:
Stockinette stitch with US size 10.5 needles: 12 stitches & 16 - 17 rows = 4”
Exact gauge is not essential but for best appearance it should be close.
I used US size 10.5 knitting needles. Use the needle size that gives the best appearance with your yarn and your knitting tension.
Significantly different gauge may require more yarn.
NEEDLES:
Knit flat, in one piece, back and forth on circular knitting needles in order to accommodate the large number of stitches.
SKILL LEVEL: Easy
