NEEDLES:
DROPS CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 5.5 MM = US 9: Length 40 cm = 16" and 80 cm = 32".
DROPS CIRCULAR NEEDLE SIZE 4 MM = US 6: Length 40 cm = 16" and 80 cm = 32".
DROPS DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES SIZE 5.5 MM = US 9.
DROPS DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES SIZE 4 MM = US 6.
DROPS CABLE NEEDLE.
The technique MAGIC LOOP can be used – you then only need 80 cm = 32" circular needle in each size.

KNITTING GAUGE:
15 stitches in width and 20 rows in height with stockinette stitch and 1 strand of each quality on needle size 5.5 MM = US 9 = 10 x 10 cm = 4" x 4".
22 stitches in width and 20 rows in height with cable pattern and 1 strand of each quality on needle size 5.5 MM = US 9 = 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.
