US3 for shoulders and neck band
US6 for the body
US4 for sleeve ribbing
US5 for body ribbing
Crochet provisional CO instead of regular CO everywhere in the pattern.
With US6 after blocking the gauge was 18-20 sts and 31 rows in 10x10cm. I had 18 sts in 10 cm on sleeves and 19 sts on the top body that was knitted flat. I had 20 sts in 10 cm on the part of the body that was knitted in the round. Next time use different needles to knit flat and in the round to get the same gauge all over.

done :-)
Very easy and enjoyable pattern. Once knitting in the round, it is a perfect TV knitting.
The yarn is so wonderfully soft and bouncy after blocking. So nice to use it finally after 7 years in my stash. I am again on my “no new yarn” mentality/path and I have not bought any new yarn for an year and few months this time. Last time I went more than 2 years without buying any yarn. Feels good to shop my own stash. :-)
