Pattern Includes: chart, written instructions, schematic

Skill Level: intermediate

Needles:
NOTE! In testing it was found that the needle size required to meet gauge varied quite widely depending on yarn used and knitter?ÇÖs personal style. The range used by testers was US 3 (3.25mm) through US 7 (4.5mm) for the main body, so knitting a gauge swatch is absolutely critical to determine needle size and ensure proper fit of the garment!

Main Needle: US 3 (3.25mm) circular needles for the body and sleeves

Neck and Sleeve Hem Needle: US 2 (2.75mm) circular needles for the neckband and sleeve hem, or one size smaller than main body needle

Other Notions: Stitch markers, stitch holders (or scrap yarn), tapestry needle, an extra needle for 3- needle-bind off

Gauge: 22 sts and 26-28 rows over 4?g in stockinette after washing and blocking on larger needles
