The pattern contains 3 gauge options so that any flatbed machine may be used. It’s not necessary to match gauge perfectly. Suggested yarns for bulky(mid-gauge, standard) machines are worsted(DK, sport-fingering). This pattern is part of the HILARIOUS HAMPERS book which has 6 different hamper patterns. This one is one of the simplest. It’s also demonstrated in a video, showing the entire process on a Passap machine. The Cutypie hamper involves the same techniques and a video of it on a Japanese machine is available to help you with this pattern, too. The book contains interactive links to this and many other helpful videos. This is a good project for making use of odds and ends of yarn.
