I used 59 and 44 peg 1/2 gauge loom for the pattern but also have it written for the 41 and 36 peg knifty knitter loom. I used Bernat Blanket Yarns and I used the really big skeins of 220yards. You will need 2 of those really large skeins.
On my blog link is the list of items you will need.
This is a fairly easy pattern to make and lots of fun.
This also have a video tutorial for any area you might have trouble with.
