Gauges
To find your needle sizes you need to swatch for the stranded colourwork and the lace. If you are unsure whether your gauge changes between single‐colour stockinette and stranded colourwork, then you should also swatch for the stockinette.
Stockinette: 26 sts / 34 rows/rnds to 10cm / 4” using size A needles.
Stranded Colourwork: 26 sts / 30 rows/rnds to 10cm / 4” using size B needles.
Lace: 23 sts / 40 rows/rnds to 10cm / 4” using size A needles.
Needles & Notions
The gauges were achieved with the following needle sizes. To work the pattern as written, you must swatch and use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.
Size A: 3.25mm (US 3) needles of varying lengths
Size B: 3.75mm (US 5) needles of varying lengths
You will also need: spare needles or interchangeable cables for holding sts, stitch markers, removable markers.
