The pattern has special stitch instructions included, and is a great piece for an intermediate-beginner. It has some squish to it, but also lightness due to the special DC stitch it uses. Also, the texture is amazing!!! Great piece for transitioning to spring!

Gauge is not important for this pattern, but it is included as a reference point.

Worsted or Aran weight works great!

A needle for weaving in ends will be needed-- but only for the beginning and end tails!
