YARN: Malabrigo Lace Merino            100% baby merino wool            50 grams - approximately 470 yards                  Note: When knitting with Hand-dyed yarn; no matter how much alike the skeins may appear, there are                     usually some differences between them. We suggest, therefore, using two skeins of yarn at once                     throughout,  alternating  every two rows,  or at random.  Most  knitters  do  not alternate  skeins                     because they believe the differences add to the beauty of the garment.         GAUGE: 27 stitches and 40 rows = 4 inches on size 5 needles in stockinette stitch;              or size needles to obtain the correct gauge          NEEDLES: size 3 and size 5                  12 double pointed needles size 5 or smaller to hold flaps until needed        NOTIONS: ring markers                  tapestry needle                  6 buttons size 5/8 inch      CARE: hand wash - lay flat to dry; or dry clean
