NEULETIHEYS:
24 s ja 30 krs = 10 cm sileää neuletta suuremmilla (3 mm) puikoilla. Kerrostiheys ei ole merkityksellistä tässä ohjeessa, sillä kaikki mitat annetaan myös pituusmittoina.

MATERIAALIT:
LANKA:
Mallikappale on neulottu pitäen kaksi lankaa yhdessä:

Knitting for Olive Merino (100% merinovilla, 50g/250 m/kerä) väri Oatmeal. Tarvitset noin 4 (5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 10) kerää tai 989 (1099, 1125, 1407, 1610, 1779, 1954, 2178, 2364) m.

Valitse puikkokoko siten, että saat tiheyden täsmäämään.

MUUT:
Päättelyneula, silmukkamerkkejä, jämälankaa ja virkkuukoukku 3 mm halutessasi väliaikaiseen aloitukseen
