Gauge
10x10cm = 18 sts and 26 rows on 5mm needles.
Circular needles: 4mm and 5mm, 40 and 60/80 cm (depending on your size)
Double-pointed needles: 4mm and 5mm
NOTE: I knit quite tightly so you may need to use 4,5mm or even 4mm I recommend knitting a swatch to test the tension.
This pattern has slim fit and a shorter body length, if you prefer a wider fit you should consider sizing up and/or adding a few cm in the body.
I also want to mention that if this pattern does not have your size, please feel free to contact me and I’ll help you grade the right size for you.
