+US size 6 circular needles with 9 inch cord, size 6 DPNs or the two circ method.
+Tapestry Needle
+Stitch Markers (I like to keep mine at every 8 stitches with a larger or brightly colored marker for start of row)
+Highlighter to draw on the colorwork chart as you go for easy row tracking
Gauge:
18 stitches and 26 rows = 4 inch square
Notes:
-Coozy is worked in one piece in the round.
-Use a 2 color alternating cast on and count as row 1. This means that by using the two color alternating cast on you have already done row 1 on the chart.
-Double knitting in the round is achieved by alternating stitches in order to work both sides of the fabric simultaneously. So in this pattern that means every odd numbered stitch on the chart is a knit and every even numbered stitch is a purl.
