US Size 5 (3.75mm) circular needles, 32"(81cm) cable recommended. US Size 7 (4.5mm) needle (or a needle two sizes larger than working needle) for a loosebind off (optional) Gauge: 6 sts per inch (2.5cm) in stockinette stitch, unblocked (gauge is not crucial for this project, but will affect yarn requirements and finished measurements) Finished Measurement: 75" (190.5cm) long, excluding fringe Begin: The fringe is created by cutting your yarn after each row, leaving an 8" (20cm) tail. When you reattach your yarn for the next row, also leave an 8" (20cm) tail. Tie these ends together after every third row or so to keep them from getting too loose or tangled. Knit all rows. With Color A, using your preferred stretchy method, cast on 460 stitches.

Loosely bind off with Color A.I like to use a needle two sizes larger than my working needle to keep my stitches from getting too tight. Trim the ends of the fringe so they hang evenly.
