For your wrap to be the correct size, it is not the brand of yarn that matters, but the GAUGE that is important. It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase.

FOR A SUBSTITUTE YARN

- Size 10.5-(6.5 mm) needles or correct size needles to obtain the gauge

NOTIONS
- Gauge ruler
- Three buttons – approximately .75 inch-(1.9 cm) they will not be visible on the public side of wrap
- Yarn markers -use a strand of thin cotton (number 10 crochet thread is great to use as yarn markers) in a contrasting color, cut to approximately 12 inches (30cm) long. Yarn markers make counting rows very easy.
- Tracking sheet-included with pattern
- Tapestry needle


GAUGE
- 12 stitches and 19 rows = 4 inches-(10 cm) on size 10.5-(6.5 mm) needles in garter stitch stretching slightly as pressing
