NEEDLES:
DROPS CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 5 MM = US 8: Length 40 and 80 cm = 16" and 32".
DROPS CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 4 MM = US 6: Length 40 and 80 cm = 16" and 32".
DROPS DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES SIZE 5 MM = US 8.
DROPS DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES SIZE 4 MM = US 6.
The technique MAGIC LOOP can be used – you then only need circular needle of 80 cm = 32" in each size.

KNITTING GAUGE:
17 stitches in width and 22 rows vertically in stockinette stitch on needle size 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.
