Materials

•Fingering Weight Yarn
madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light (100% Merino); 420 yd. / 384 m per 110 g
colours shown:
C1 Pavement - 1 skein (grey)
C2 Madonna - 1 skein (red)

•Needles
US 1 / 2.25 mm needles for knitting in the round or size needed to get gauge. I recommend needles long enough to do magic loop or 2 needles for the 2-circulars method for at least the first dozen rounds of the base of the castle.

For the rest of the base and walls, 16” / 40 cm circulars can be swapped in. If you love using DPNs, they work well on the tower sections.

•Notions
stitch markers, cable needle, yarn needle, roving/polyfill stuffing, stiff cardboard, white felt, 24” / 60 cm tan embroidery floss, sewing needle, craft or fabric glue, scrap yarn
