This pattern is written in ENGLISH using standard U.S. knitting terms.
You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, read a row by row knitting pattern, bind off stitches and weave in ends.
This project is knit flat back and forth on US size 8 circular knitting needles...or needle size that works best with your yarn and knitting tension.
Long circular needles are recommended to hold the large number of stitches.
Blocking of finished knitting is highly recommended.
