All sizes: 16” 40 cm, 24” 60 cm, 32” 80 cm and 40” 100 cm circular needles.
Sizes XL-XXL: 60” 150 cm circular needles.
Optional: double-pointed needles for small-circumference knitting.

Note: Begin with the shortest circular needles and switch to longer lengths as needed while working the yoke. Use your preferred method of small-circumference knitting to work the sleeves.

NOTIONS
1 stitch marker (to indicate end of round).
2 short circular stitch holders or waste yarn (to hold live stitches for sleeves).
Blunt tapestry needle.
Blocking pins, if desired.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
This garment is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down.
Directions for the Knitted Cast On and Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off, as well as other useful information, can be found in the Special Techniques section of the book.
The garter stitch neckband is worked flat, then the yoke is knit in the round with increases occurring before and after each band of stranded colorwork.
The yoke is then divided to work the body, with additional stitches cast on at the underarms, while the sleeve stitches are held separately.
The sleeves are worked from the upper arm down with stitches picked up from the cast-on edge at the underarms and are tapered with decreases below the elbow.
3x3 Ribbing is worked at the hem and the cuffs.

Note: Yarn is held double-stranded throughout.
