𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹: Intermediate level (based on four levels which includes Very Easy, Easy, Medium, and Difficult).
-- The Intermediate level requires experience with DPNs and circulars, "magic loop" (using a very long round needle to work on a small project), simple color-work (i.e. intarsia), mid-level shaping (i.e. armholes), mid-level finishing (i.e. stitching two pieces together), simple lacework, basic cables, bobbles. Designs at the medium level are for more sophisticated patterns such as cable or lace patterns, easy fair isle or intarsia patterns, and with elaborate cuts (e.g. sidecut).
