You will also need:
Darning needle (I love cross stitch needles for this!) and sturdy lace or sock yarn for reinforcing steeks (or a sewing machine or a crochet hook), tapestry needle for sewing seams, stitch markers and removable markers; grosgrain ribbon and needle and thread for finishing the steeks if desired; scrap yarn or spare needles or interchangeable cables to hold stitches
Techniques
Stranded colourwork in the round
Steeking
Double stitch short rows (a.k.a German short rows)
i-cord edges
Sewing seams (you could also do this using 3 needle bind-off, if preferred)
