stitch holders, interchangeable cables, or scrap yarn to hold stitches;
removable markers for Sunday short rows;
tapestry or darning needlefor weaving in ends;
darning needle and sturdy lace or sock yarn for reinforcing the steeks (since this is bulky yarn I strongly recommend hand sewing with a needle and lace weight yarn to reduce extra bulk and weight);
