Would you recommend that the yarn colors have contrast, or would 4 shades of the same color work?
We designed for contrast but same color different shades could work. I just haven’t seen it done like that yet.
The knitting needle size is same as crochet hook.
Sorry. My update didn’t save. The size is the same, but you want 24”/60cm long circulars.
Am I missing Guage size, or is this bit if info still to come?
Hope this isn’t a copy. Is guage/swatch size up or is it to come?
