Materials

• at least 100g worsted or aran weight wool if you will be making ‘blanket version’ or 50 g of fingering weight wool for the ‘shawl version’ (wool blends and other animal fibers also encouraged, although 100% alpaca, mohair, or silk fibers are not recommended). [Completion of project will require between 1150 yards (Shawl Version) and 1800 yards (Blanket Version)of yarn, although students will only need enough to get started during class]
• One set of double pointed needles, one or two sizes
  larger than recommended size on your yarn label
• One package of stitch markers

• One 16” circular needle in same size as DPNs (optional)

• One 32” circular needle in same size as DPNs (for completion of project. It is unlikely you will need to switch to this needle size during class, unless you prefer working the Magic Loop Method)

• Crochet Hook for working circular cast-on
