Suggested needles:
Size 10 US. (6.0 mm) circular knitting needles (anything between 40” - 50” will be ideal) (if you need to size up or size down your needles to achieve gauge, please do so, gauge is more important, I’m a loose knitter and I use size 8 US. needles for this sweater)
Optional: Size 10 US. (6.0 mm) 16” circular needles or whatever size used to achieve gauge in 16” circular needles.

Etc.
Scissors
Yarn needle
Scrap yarn or spare circular needles for holding stitches

Notes:

• This sweater is constructed from the neck down then separated into the torso and sleeves. The torso is worked and finished, then the sleeve stitches are picked back up knitted down to the cuff.


• Fit: This sweater is designed to be a little spacious in the armpits so that it fits a vast spectrum of sizes amidst the average bust sizes listed below.


• It’s easiest to follow this pattern by printing it out, but if you don’t have access to a printer, holding your phone sideways will work!
 This pattern uses 30” - 40” circular knitting needles, if you are making a larger size, you may want to consider using 40” - 50” needles so that it’s easier to move your stitches across with greater ease.
