Suggested needles:

3 mm circular needles, 40 cm and 80 cm, and double-pointed needles for the ribbing.

3.5 mm circular needle, 80 cm, for the shoulder section without colorwork.

4.5 mm circular needle, 80 cm, and double-pointed needles for the colorwork, plus a 40 cm circular needle for the sleeves if needed.

Gauge:

22 stitches x 22 rows = 10 x 10 cm

To achieve the correct fit and the intended look of the finished garment, it is important that the row gauge is also correct. There is little room for adjustment at the sides, as the entire sweater is knitted in one continuous colorwork pattern.
