This is a bit difficult. Size one or two needles to knit with sport yarn or #4 is impossible. What is up with this? What other comments have there been? I'd like to know.

The pattern says:
Needles: 1 (2.25 mm) OR SIZE NEEDED TO OBTAIN GAUGE

I tend to knit loose and usually use smaller needles. But you should choose the size, which allows you to achieve the correct gause.
