If you are knitting a version with a smaller border you will require less yarn, but I recommend starting with the yardage recommendations above to ensure you do not run out of yarn.
Needles
US 4 / 3.5mm in 40″ / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge
US E / 3.5mm crochet hook for optional crocheted granny square
Notions 4 stitch markers, tapestry needle
Gauge 24 sts & 48 rows = 4″ / 10cm in garter stitch before blocking
Garter Stitch Swatch
If you would like to see how your colors interact, cast on 30 stitches and knit some colorful stripes, knitting on the right side and wrong side for garter stitch. I recommend striping the colors by knitting 8 rows of each color, resulting in 4 garter ridges for each stripe like this…
Knit 8 rows with color A.
Knit 8 rows with color B.
Knit 8 rows with color C.
Knit 8 rows with color D.
Repeat those stripes again to see your A, B, C, D striping effect and check your stitch gauge.
