"All needle sizes are recommended, what is essential in knitting is to obtain the gauge, so you can use whatever size needle is necessary to do that. For me it was a 4mm needle to obtain gauge and I've made many for friends, family and donated quite a few to the local shelters."

"The instructions are quite clear and the pattern is correct as written, I see your question has sat here for years unanswered, since this is an issue that could occur to any knitter I think I can help. You are working two sets of instructions at this point, you will work the instructions for the beginning and end of the row under back while working the instructions for the stripe pattern also. Using the first row as an example, with 83 sts on need, knit 7, purl 3, work yo, k3tog tbl, yo, p3 over the next 66 sts, knit7 to finish the row. For clarity the yo, k3tog tbl, yo, p3 will be worked 11 times across that row. Following the directions exactly will keep the stitch count consistent from row to row in this section, if you are really struggling with it, you could place stitch markers every 6 stitches after the border stitches and the P3 on row 1 of the stripes pattern. Hope this helps someone, happy knitting."
