You will also need… - A set of US 2 (3 mm) [double pointed needles][3] - [Stitch markers][4], including 1 unique - [Stitch holder][5] and scrap yarn NOTE: If you want to use [Magic Loop][6] for the Cuff, Thumb Gusset, and Upper Palm sections of this pattern, you'll also need a pair of US 2, 32-inch or longer [circular knitting needles][7]. We still recommend double pointed needles for the fingers, though, since those extra tiny circumferences can be tricky.
