Materials:
8.0 mm needles - circular needles required, 20-inch (50cm) cord
Worsted weight yarn ( use up scraps!)
- for a nice texture I used a lace weight (mohair/alpaca- anything soft) and holding it 4 strands to create a worsted weight
or experiment with what you have- I held two fingering weight yarns with a lace weight to make a worsted weight…

Yardage: color 1- 75 m, color 2- 50 m
if holding yarns together- double, triple or quadruple meters depending on how many strands held. Ex- I held 4 strands of lace weight, I used 300 m of color 1.
