Needles & finishing tools
Beanie · in the round: Beanie: a set of 4mm double-pointed needles is required. Rowan also lists an optional 4mm circular needle, 40cm long. Both packages include Prym KnitPro Natural DPNs and that optional circular setup; use your own tools if you do not need the package. No additional specialised tool is listed on the materials sheet.
Scarf: Scarf: one pair of 5.5mm straight needles. No circular cables or DPNs are needed. No additional specialised tool is listed on the materials sheet.
Where a circular setup is selected, a 40cm-labelled cable is supplied with short 10cm tips. For projects with two circular needle sizes, transfer the same cable between tip pairs when changing needle size. End caps and a key are supplied with the cable.
A tapestry needle, measuring tape and scissors are useful finishing tools; these are not automatically added.
Tension & care
Beanie: 24 stitches × 30 rounds to 10cm over K1, P1 rib using 4mm needles, with rib unstretched.
Scarf: 17 stitches × 30 rows to 10cm over garter stitch using 5.5mm needles.
Make a tension square and adjust your needle size if needed. Follow the yarn labels for care instructions.

Before you begin
Can I make both designs?
Yes. Add the first project, then return and select the second. Include the pattern once and untick it for the second addition. Each project has its own yarn requirement; do not assume one allocation covers both.
Can I use my own tools or pattern?
Yes. Select only what you need. For circular knitting, check you have the correct needle size and finished cable length before choosing own cables.
