AND needles suitable for working small
circumferences in the round. Note: Choose your
circular needle length according to size worked and
preference, you may find it helpful to adjust the length
used as you work through the body and yoke. DPNs or
magic loop may be used for the sleeves.

Pattern Notes
Tendu is worked seamlessly in the round. The body and sleeves
are worked first, then joined for raglan shaping at the yoke. Both a chart and written instructions are included for the lace section, pattern can be worked using either.
