NEEDLES:
DROPS CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 4.5 MM = US 7: Length 40 cm = 16" and 80 cm = 32".
DROPS DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES SIZE 4.5 MM = US 7.
DROPS CABLE NEEDLE.
The technique MAGIC LOOP can be used – you then only need 80 cm = 32" circular needle in each size.

KNITTING GAUGE:
26 stitches in width and 24 rows in height, with rib and 3 strands on needle size 4.5 MM = US 7= 10 x 10 cm = 4" x 4".
Equivalent to: 18 stitches in width and 24 rows in height with stockinette stitch and 3 strands on needle size 4.5 MM = US 7 = 10 x 10 cm = 4" x 4".
NOTE: 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 too few stitches on 10 cm = 4", change to a smaller needle size.
