MATERIALS

  • 2 (3, 5) balls of Purl Soho’s Field Notes, 50% Sicilian cotton and 50% hemp. Each ball of this light worsted/DK-weight yarn is 104 yards/ 50 grams; approximately 190 (312, 510) total yards required. We used Yellow Zest, Stepping Stone, and Fresh Huckleberry.
  • US 4 (3.5 mm) circular knitting needles, 24-inch for Small and Medium sizes or 32-inch for Large size
  • A set of US 4 double pointed needles OR US 4, 32-inch circular needles for Magic Loop
  • Stitch markers, including one unique

NOTE: We used every last yard for the Medium size! To avoid running short, be sure to check your gauge, reuse your swatch yarn, and keep tails short. Or, consider ordering an extra ball just for swatching. If you don’t end up needing it, you can return it for a refund within 30 days of purchase, or within 6 months, for store credit. Our Return Policy has all the details!
