GAUGE
Body and Sleeves:
28 sts and 40 rounds to
10cm / 4” measured over blocked stocking stitch on 3mm needles.
Yoke (see note below
regarding needles for the yoke):
28 sts and 36 rounds to
10cm/ 4” measured over blocked fair isle using 3.5mm needles.
NEEDLES & ACCESSORIES
2.5mm (UK 13-12 / US 1.5)
circular needles or DPNs for working rib on body, sleeves and neck
3mm (UK 11 / US 2.5)
circular needles or DPNs for working body and sleeves
Optional: 3.5mm (UK 10-9 /
US 4) circular needles or DPNs for yoke – my fair isle knitting is quite tight
so I choose to go up half a needle size for the yoke. You may not feel this is
necessary but take time to check your gauge and adjust as necessary.
4 stitch markers (1 in a
different colour for beginning of round)
