What size needles do you need for the sleuthing hoodie? length and diameter? trying to work out how much it'd cost if I need to buy the pattern, wool and new needles :-?

From their sales page:

Needles and Notions

-Size 7 16” circular needle (or size needed to optain gauge

-1 size 7 12” circular, or needles needed for your favorite small circumference knitting (or size needed to obtain proper gauge.)(NOTE: For sizes 3-6, and 6-12 you many find it easier to use DPN’s, or Magic loop)

-1 darning needle

-5 stitch markers

-Blocking pins

-Scrap yarn

-Stitch holders (optional, I use scrap yarn for this)

-Measuring tape

-Size H crochet hook. (Optional- for hoodless version only.)

You don't need to crochet, you can do other trims on it.

Thanks hun, I think I've converted that right....4.5 mm in both 40 and 30cm lengths? Poop don't have either of those.

Do you have 4.5mm in any other length? You could use one long circ and magic loop - it's very easy.

I have 20cm 4.5mm DPN but am too scared to use them :giggle: Sure I'm going to do myself an injury. :roll:

Think I'm going to try the sleuthing hoodie. I have the needles and bought the pattern already.

I think I've decided on a yarn choice, will need to order that though.

Got my pattern, could someone help with a question please - it specifies 12 & 16 inch circulars - are they really big enough for a jumper which seems to be knitted in the round?

Also wondering whether I could get away with my existing pair of 5mm 30cm circulars - look waaaay too small though :-?
I've lost nearly all my needles recently
