Materials
Yarn: I recommend that you use a yarn with great stich-definition! I used Krea Deluxe “Organic cotton”, a sport weight yarn that comes in balls of 165 m/180 yards. You will need approximately 300/345/390/440/500/575/650 m = 327/376/425/480/545/630/710 yards, using this specific yarn. Yardage might vary depending on which yarn you choose to work. Choose yarn that knits up to gauge.
Needles Size 3 mm/US2.5. Circular (or straights) for the body, DPNS (or circulars, if working the magic loop) for the sleeves, circular for the button-bands worked in one piece.
Notions 4 removable stitch-markers, separate holders, waste-yarn, buttons, 12 mm/0.5” across.

Gauge
24 sts and 36 - 38 rows/rounds in lace-pattern = 10 x 10 cm/4 x 4”
