Notes about materials and skills
- for all item types, you'll need to knit in the round
- depending on item choice, you can use a long circular for magic loop, and/or DPNs, and/or a short circular to knit your piece in the round
- items range around 1-2 skeins of yarn (standard skein sizes; a large cowl may need 3 skeins) in any weight - some items work better in heavier weight ranges, others in lighter weights; those details are in the book, but all patterns are written for any gauge
- you'll be working some basic short rows for the construction
- most techniques will be your choice - your choices may result in cables, or twisted stitches, or stripes, or textures, etc
- if you need help with the increases in the first section, there is a full video tutorial here
