Suggested needles
3 mm / US 2.5 circular, 80 cm, for ribbing (use Magic Loop when needed)
4 mm / US 6 circular, 80 cm, for body and sleeves (use Magic Loop when needed)

Gauge
20 sts x 24 rnds in stockinette stitch on larger needles = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches after blocking.

Please note that needle size is only a suggestion. Always use the needle size that gives you the correct gauge.

In this sweater it is important to get as close as possible to the correct row gauge, in order for the colorwork to look balanced.

Pay extra attention to your gauge when knitting the colorwork section, and when working the sleeves. Many knitters will tend to have a tighter gauge when working these parts of the sweater. If this is true for you, please adjust your needle size accordingly, by going up one or two sizes!

When working flat (for the short row sections), pay attention to your gauge. Our purls are often looser than our knit stitches. You may want to use a smaller needle tip for the purl rows!
