Gauge, needles and notions
Gauge: 23 sts x 34 rows = 10 x 10 cm in lace pattern on 3.5 mm needles
Needles: Circular needles: 3 mm and 3.5 mm / 60 or 80 cm needles; Double-pointed needles: 3 mm and 3.5 mm needles
Ask us to help choose a stocked yarn alternative; replacement quantities depend on achieving the lace gauge and fabric.
Original PetiteKnit yarn requirements
Choose one yarn option. Metres are converted from the designer’s stated quantities using the listed yarn specifications. Held-together components stay separate; where one yarn is held double, its column gives the total metres for both strands.
Duo: one strand

Wild & Woolly yarn options
Contact Wild & Woolly for help choosing a yarn from our range and confirming the required metres. The original yarn tables above remain the designer’s reference; substitute quantities are not assumed.
Before you begin
Make a washed or blocked swatch and check both gauge and fabric before starting. Buy complete balls, allowing extra yarn for swatching, changes to length or fit, and differences in gauge. The metre figures are based on the designer’s quantities, rather than exact measured consumption.
