Yarn Selection and Quantity

ust about any yarn will do, but something

with a bit of stretch to it will make thecabling go a bit easier. There is a lot of

te7ture in this pattern, so look for a yarn

that doesn't have too much color variation.

8ou will need between 9(0 to /(0 yards

9/0 to /90 meters). The amount of yarn

needed will vary by the length you chooseto knit and the gauge you end up with.
