50g doubleknit in the stripe colour – I used black
50G doubleknit in the main colour – plain works nicely, but, self striping is magical. I used Wendy Aurora in green, it is discontinued – sadly, but there are several that would work as well – King
Cole make some lovely ones
3.5mm knitting needles – straight
Tapestry needle
Short length of contrasting yarn
