If you choose a contrasting color (CC) yarn for the borders, it should be about 20% of your total yardage. The optional textured band uses about 15% of total yardage and yarn is referred to as Color C. Scrap yarn, 4 stitch markers, darning needle for weaving in ends, and either 2 buttons about - ¾" (1 1/2" - 2 cm) in diameter or 1 button of any size.
Needle Size: Double pointed needles (or needles appropriate for your preferred method of small circumference circular knitting) and circular needles in US sizes 8 (5mm) and 6 (4mm) or size required to obtain gauge and two sizes smaller. You will be knitting flat on these circular needles, so exact length is not critical, but at least 36; (90cm) long for comfort.
