NEEDLES:
DROPS CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 5 MM = US 8: Length 40 cm = 16" and 80 cm = 32".
DROPS CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 3.5 MM = US 4: Length 40 cm = 16" and 80 cm = 32".
DROPS DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES SIZE 5 MM = US 8.
DROPS DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES SIZE 3.5 MM = US 4.
DROPS CABLE NEEDLE.
The technique MAGIC LOOP can be used – you then only need 80 cm = 32" circular needle in each size.
KNITTING GAUGE:
17 stitches in width and 22 rows in height with stockinette stitch and 1 strand of each quality on needle size 5 MM = US 8 = 10 x 10 cm = 4" x 4".
21 stitches in width and 27 rows in height with honeycomb pattern and 1 strand of each quality on needle size 5 MM = US 8 = 10 x 10 cm = 4" x 4".
NOTE: Remember, the needle size is only a guide. If you get too many stitches on 10 cm = 4", change to a larger needle size. If you get to few stitches on 10 cm = 4", change to a smaller needle size.
