- 8 mm circular needles, 24"-36" cord
- 6 mm circular needles, 24"-36" cord (you can use this as the cable needle)

This pattern is suitable for advanced beginners; you should be comfortable with cable knitting. This pattern uses the following techniques: picking up stitches, reading charts, cabling, decreases, three needle bind off, creating bobbles, and knitting in the round. I’ll be posting tutorials on my instagram!
