Altering the needle size will change the size of the finished product. I used 4.5mm for medium fit Bind off and seam ends together and the project yarn.
There's a larger twist (the C6B) with two smaller twists (the C3Bs) inside If you want the design to stand out I'd suggest a plain yarn that shows good stitch definition and that isn't too 'fuzzy'. The one I used wasn't ideal for the project but it was the request of the customer.
Here's the repeat listed out in order [ Odd (WS), Even (RS), Cable ]
