Needles & Notions
6 US / 4 mm circular needles, 32 inches/80 cm (to accommodate the large number of stitches), or needle size to obtain gauge.
Tapestry/yarn needle to weave in yarn ends.
Stitch marker (optional).
Gauge
20 sts and 32 rows per 4 inches/10 cm in stocking stitch after blocking.
Gauge is not crucial but a different gauge will alter the finished size, drape and amount of yarn required.
Construction
Heartwood is worked flat in one piece from the top down. Two increases at the beginning and end of every RS row, along with two increases at the centre spine, creates a wide shallow triangle shape.
