  • 6 mm circular needles, 24”-36” cord - 6.5 mm circular needles, 24”-36” cord (you can use this as the cable needle)

This pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters! You should be familiar with stockinette stitch and reading charts! This pattern uses the following techniques: picking up stitches, cabling, decreases, bobbles, three needle bind off, and knitting in the round. I’ll be posting tutorials on my instagram!
