It is sure to keep your ears toasty during the winter chill. Materials: 200 metres (220 yards) of worsted weight yarn (usually 100 grams) 4mm 16" circular needle 4.5mm 16" circular needle 4.5mm DPNs cable needle Abbreviations: C2L: left cross cable - slip 1st 2 stitches onto cable needle and let hang to front of work. Knit the next 2 stitches from the left needle, then holding the cable needle in your left hand, knit the 2 stitches from the cable needle. Working in the round and using smaller circular needles, cast on 108 stitches, join.
