Though it is possible to knit the choker on wood or bamboo needles, I recommend the use of pointy, metallic dpns, especially if you are opting for the use of mercerised cotton yarn with this pattern. This will make the knitting experience much more enjoyable. </div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbXBtAFX_kdL96oMs0S8HMNWOwmf2AXmdi_Z86-3W8ok8TTVudVxbpQfNxI5OOyumKz018AzPLz8OdKZcadY2n7LPdhVREqs12cM5rc3MtDCdKXqf5A_tqBvW2BG0arc0NLa2K-N7JXGfdsyL6jxhOBhYKVggqCGidrcCqfCa6KuARSsZyo6pQQhUW/s1080/Cascade%20Insta%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Fee Choker Knit Pattern Knitting Pattern" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbXBtAFX_kdL96oMs0S8HMNWOwmf2AXmdi_Z86-3W8ok8TTVudVxbpQfNxI5OOyumKz018AzPLz8OdKZcadY2n7LPdhVREqs12cM5rc3MtDCdKXqf5A_tqBvW2BG0arc0NLa2K-N7JXGfdsyL6jxhOBhYKVggqCGidrcCqfCa6KuARSsZyo6pQQhUW/w640-h640/Cascade%20Insta%202.jpg" title="Free Choker Knitting Pattern" width="640"></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><br></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: Arial; font-kerning: none; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;"></span></span></span></p><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">The length of the choker can be adjusted easily for different neck circumferences and I recommend you check the fit whilst knitting.
