Materials:
Size US 6 circular needles (suggested 30” cord)
Darning needle
Stitch markers (4)
Snips
Scale that measures in grams
Pom-pom maker (optional)
Yarn:
Fingering Weight Yarn
Main Color - 100g / 400yds
Contrast Colors - (10) 20g mini skeins OR equivalent scraps
MC: For the main color, I do suggest a solid, tonal or lightly speckled yarn. You will want to make sure it has enough contrast to stand up against the colors you use for your CC.
CC: Select a combination of 20g mini skeins or scraps equivalent to at least 130g of yarn.
The border in the sample uses 3 colors and you will need at least 10g of each going in to the border if you chose to knit as written (so keep this in mind from the beginning when selecting yarn). I like the low contrast pinks used in the sample to keep the border modern and simple, but a more contrasting choice would give the border a more graphic and playful look.
