This pattern is intended to fit with 3 – 8” / 8 – 20 cm positive ease (select the lesser amount for a more fitted look or the larger amount of ease for a relaxed fit).

Suggested Needles & Notions
US 11 / 8 mm, 16 – 24” / 41 – 61 cm circulars or size needed for herringbone gauge
US 10.5 / 6.5 mm, 16” & 32” / 41 & 80 cm (or longer) circulars or size needed for stockinette gauge (main needle)
US 9 / 5.5 mm or 2 sizes smaller than main needle, 32” / 80 cm (or longer) circular (only needed if working the alternate hem option in twisted rib)
DPNs or circulars in both sizes for working small circumferences (sleeves)
Note: I suggest using interchangeable needles which will allow you to use a smaller size LHN for the herringbone stitch sections. This will not affect gauge but makes herringbone easier to work.
Distinct BOR marker plus 3 additional markers
