## Recommended equipment

- **Knitting needles**: 3.75 mm circular needle with a flexible cable and points comfortable for directional decreases. ([Open Explore guide](https://threadcabin.com/explore/1/knitting-needle-forms-straight-circular-and-double-pointed))
- **Project yarn**: Fine- or light-weight, smooth plied yarn for crisp leaf outlines and stable blocking. ([Open Explore guide](https://threadcabin.com/explore/15/yarn-label-anatomy-turn-symbols-and-numbers-into-decisions))
- **Gauge ruler and swatch tools**: Use a rigid metric ruler with at least a 10 cm span; wash and rest a representative swatch before choosing the working needle. ([Open Explore guide](https://threadcabin.com/explore/2/gauge-is-a-fabric-measurement-not-a-needle-promise))
