YARN:
sport-weight to DK wool (can be 200-350m/220-380yds per 100g/3.5oz, as long as it gives gauge).
Choose yarns with little to no halo to best show off the print. You can use a solid / tonal, but I would avoid highly variegated as it will “muddy” the print.
The sample was knit out of tweed Kaledo, 300m/328yrd per 100g/3.5oz. (70% merino, 30% cashmere)
Yardages per size are given in the Sizing and Yardage table below.

NEEDLES:
• Main: 3.75-4mm/US 5-6 (or size to get stockinette gauge) circulars on a 40-100cm/16-40” cable, depending on the size worked + DPNs for the sleeves, if you prefer them to magic loop (for magic loop you may need 0.25mm / 1 US size larger needles);
• Smaller: 3mm/US2.5 (or ~0.5mm/ 2 US sizes smaller than main) same cable length as the main ones + DPN’s for the ribbing on the neckband, hem and cuffs.

NOTIONS: waste yarn, crochet hook, cable needle (optional), stitch markers, row counter, tape measure, tapestry needle, scissors.

GAUGE (PER 1010CM/ 44” AFTER WET-BLOCKING)
• In print: 17-18 stitches by 30 rows (depends on your yarn qualities) – on main need
