GAUGE

NEEDLES

Size A (for Single-Color Stockinette Stitch)

• One each 16″, 24″, and 32″ circular needles and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs) in size needed to obtain gauge listed
• Suggested Size: 3.25 mm (US 3)

Size B (for Charted Colorwork)

• One each 24″ and 32″ circular needles and one set of DPNs, one size larger than Size A
• Suggested Size: 3.5 mm (US 4)
• Due to significant variance among knitters, your colorwork fabric should be swatched and wet-blocked prior to knitting your sweater to determine whether or not Size B should be larger, smaller or equal to Size A. 

Size C (for Ribbing)

• One each 16″ and 32″ circular needles and one set of DPNs, one size smaller than Size A
• Suggested Size: 2.75 mm (US 2)

Size D (optional; for Tubular Cast On only)

• One 32″ circular needle and one set of DPNs, one size smaller than Size C
• Suggested Size: 2.25 mm (US 1)

Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.

Please note: the stitch patterns in this garment are charted only.
