Suggested substitutes include Rainbow Cotton 8/4, Paintbox Cotton 4-ply, Cotton Kings 8/4, and Rowan Summerlite 4-ply — most heavyweight cottons work well. You'll need an E/3.5mm main hook (or the size needed to meet gauge) and a C/2.75mm hook for the border, plus 6 buttons (14–18mm), stitch markers, a darning needle, scissors, and a measuring tape.
How much yarn will I need?
Main-colour amounts range from approximately 1135yds [1035m] for XS up to 2085yds [1905m] for 5XL, with every size listed in the pattern. You'll also need 75yds [70m] / 0.7oz [20g] of your border colour for all sizes.
