Needles: Size US 3/3.25mm 30”/76cm (or longer) circular needle, size US 5/3.75mm 30”/76cm (or longer) circular needle, and your preferred needles for small circumference knitting in both sizes.
Optional: I go up one needle size for each color added, which would require size US 6/4mm and size US 7/4.5mm needles.
