4.5mm / US 7 circular needle, 40cm / 16” length AND needles suitable for working small circumferences in the round
Always use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.

Notions: 2 stitch markers, tapestry needle

Notes: Pullover is worked from the top down almost exclusively in the round. The neckband is worked first, followed by the colourwork yoke. After the colourwork section is completed, the back yoke is shaped by a small gusset section that is worked back and forth for a better fit. The body and sleeves are then divided and worked separately in the round.

When working the stranded colourwork, keep floats in the back loose to maintain fabric elasticity. This design doesn’t have too many long floats, however when there is a section of 5 stitches or more, it is recommended to twist yarns together in the back of work to help maintain gauge and elasticity.
