the length of your circulars isn’t too important as we can use magic loop. If you are trying to avoid magic loop I’d suggest a 40cm wire for the sleeves and an 80+cm wire for the body
* magic loop will likely be necessary for the cuffs as it’s a small circumference but you may wish to use a <40cm wire or DPNs
