16-inch US #9/5.5mm circular needle
GAUGE

Note: This pattern is worked in the round, and exact gauge is not essential. The simple stitch pattern means that you don’t have to stick to a solid yarn, use that cherished skein of hand painted worsted you’ve been saving for something special. Or, use a double strand of that sock yarn you’ve been meaning to get out of your stash!
