The technique MAGIC LOOP can be used – you then only need an 80 cm = 32" circular needle.
KNITTING GAUGE:
15 stitches in width and 19 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".
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.
