100g ball - approximately 190 – 200 metres
NEEDLE
9 mm 16”and 24” circular knitting needles. If you are familiar with magic loop knitting, you will only need the 24” long needle.
Smaller (4mm – 6mm) circular needle 24”
MATERIALS TO BRING
Pattern, knitting needles, yarn caked & ready to knit with one stitch marker that will fit on the 9mm needle. Tapestry needle.
SIZE
Adult participants will be knitting a pair to fit. It is recommended to knit a ladies size first as the men's sizes are slightly more difficult.
YARDAGE
Ladies: small (size 6) 500 yards, medium (size 8) 540 yards, large (10) 580 yards.
2 colour clogs will require approximately 1/3 of the yardage in the upper colour and 2/3 in the sole/cuff colour. Therefore, 1 – 100g ball of yarn for the upper colour and 2- 100g balls of yarn for the sole/cuff colour. It is recommended to make the 2-colour clog as it is easier to see the stitches that you will need to pick up.
