Materials Required:

• Yarn: Choose any worsted or heavy worsted wool yarn for a cozy finish. You'll need approximately 825, 940, 1130, 1220, 1350, or 1550 yards, depending on the size.
• Needles: For this project, use US 8 (5 mm) circular needles with a long cable. Additionally, you'll need one pair of US 8 (5 mm) double-pointed needles (DPNs) and one pair of US 7 (4.5 mm) DPNs specifically for working the garter stitch on the sleeves. Make sure to use needles that help you achieve the correct gauge.

Notions: Gather your essential knitting tools, including stitch markers, stitch holders, or waste yarn for easy project management, and a tapestry needle for seamless weaving in of ends.

Gauge Information: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 15 stitches and 19 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch after blocking with the larger needles.
