Yarn: Plymouth Encore (75% acrylic, 25% wool) worsted, 2 3-1/2 oz. skeins each white and black; the white was double-stranded with Nightlights Glow in the Dark Yarn, about 1-1/2 2 oz balls.
Needles: Crystal Palace bamboo dpns, US#8 for the white stripes, US#9 for the black
Finished size: 78" x 6-1/2"
Pattern: my own -- cast on 60 sts, join and work stockinette in the round until I ran out of the black yarn.
