Needles: 40 cm and 80 cm circular needles (for larger sizes 100 cm) and double pointed needles 3.5 och 4.5 mm or size needed to obtain gauge
Notions: 9 stitch markers, 8 in one colour and 1 stitch marker in contrasting colour.
Gauge: 17 sts and 22 rows = 10 x 10 cm stockinette stitch. Knit a gauge swatch and change needle size if needed to match the gauge in the pattern. If you have more stitches per centimetre, change to a larger needle size. If you have less stitches, change to a smaller needle size. It is more important that the number of stitches match, than the number of rows for the gauge.
As a tip, you can start knitting a sleeve, and measure this instead of a gauge swatch.
