DROPS DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES SIZE 5.5 MM = US 9

The technique MAGIC LOOP can be used – you then only need circular needle of 80 cm = 32" in each size.

16 stitches in width and 20 rows vertically in stockinette stitch and 2 strands DROPS Kid-Silk and 1 strand DROPS Nord or 2 strands DROPS Kid-Silk and 1 strand DROPS Baby Merino (= 3 strands) on needle size 5,5 MM = US 8 = 10 x 10 cm = 4" x 4".
REMEMBER: Needle size is only a suggestion! If you have too many stitches on 10 cm = 4" switch to larger sized needles or if you get too few stitches on 10 cm = 4" switch to smaller sized needles.
