NEEDLES
1 pair 6.00mm needles [USA 10] [UK 4]
1 set 6.00mm circular needles [USA 10] [UK 4]
Note: Since the bodice is wide and uses two yarns
together, circular needles could be used in place of
straight needles on the bodice and sleeves, working
back and forth, and not in the round, to allow more
space for working. Circulars are used in the round on the
neckband.
