You’ll also need…

  • US 17, 40-inch circular needles
  • Spare US 11, 13 or 15, 60-inch circular needles

NOTE: Spare needles are for putting stitches on hold that you later knit. If you’d rather use scrap yarn, you can. Just be sure you have spare needles to slip the on-hold stitches onto so you can knit them when the time comes!

GAUGE
8 stitches and 16 rows 8 garter ridges = 4 inches in garter stitch

NOTE: For the Crib size, you’ll use just about the full skein of Yarn H, and for the Throw size, you’ll use just about the full skein of Yarn D. To avoid running out of yarn, make sure to achieve this gauge and use Yarn C (of which you have plenty) for your swatch.
