Two of the needles listed above need to be circular:
Size 8 24 inch and a size 7 24 inch.

The gauge is done in Garter Stitch using the larger needles and 2 strands of yarn held together.

The project is worked with double strands.

11 1/2 inches wide and 14 inches long - finished.

“I especially enjoy making easy, utilitarian projects with nontraditional materias. For this serving tray, I worked two strands of worsted weight linen in a combination of Garter and Stockinette stitches, then immersed the floppy fabric in fabric stiffener to make it surdy enough to be useful.” Leigh Radford
