A note about yarn choice and gauge
When working with linen, it is particularly important to knit and wet block a good swatch and pay attention to both stitch and row gauge. Because linen tends to shrink a bit, working to a particular length may result in a finished measurement shorter than expected. For that reason, the pattern directions specify lengths in number of rows, rather than inches or cm.

Needles
• US 8 5mm needles for body
• US 8 5mm circular or double-pointed needles for sleeves*

* Any method of working in the round (double-pointed needles, two circulars or a long circular for magic loop) may be used.

Gauge
• 19 sts and 33 rows = 4” / 10cm over Stockinette stitch, blocked
• 17 sts and 26 rows = 4” / 10cm over Lace patt, blocked
