Needle size in millimetres is indicated on this sleeve with
bobbles and eyelets: whole numbers by bobbles and quarter numbers by eyelets;
the number of indicators required will determine the number of cast on stitches
(meaning the width of the work; and as such, the length of the sleeve). This
pattern is originally designed for four DPNs; a tighter seam or a row more (or
less) may better accommodate your needs.
Based on my available scrap yarn colours, I’ve colour coded
my needle sleeves to my needle sizes (My 3.0, 3.25, 3.5 &, 3.75 sleeves are
blue).
Requirements: Use whatever needle sizes the needle
sleeves are meant for; Darning needle; Scissors; Worsted weight in a small
amount (use a lighter weight for needles smaller than 3mm and hold yarn double
for needles larger than 6mm).
Gauge: is not essential for this pattern, though use
of DK weight may also accommodate your needs.

Notes:
- I used 2-strand (or 2-tail cast on). Use whatever works for you.
- To express a ½ mm the third stitch becomes the eyelets in row #2 and row #6
- To express a ¾ mm the third & sixth stitches become eyelets in row #2 and the sixth stitch becomes an eyelet in row #6.
- The eyelets are slanted opposite so they don’t render each other.
- The 3-Stitch Bobbles are the same throughout the pattern.
