Description
Yarn
Fingering merino 75%, nylon 25% or other yarn with the same stretch, 400 meters/100 grams
Sizes
XS, S, M (L, XL, 2XL) [3XL, 4XL, 5XL] with body chest measurements of 74, 84, 94 (104, 114, 125) [135, 145, 155] cm.
Chest measurements

I recommend choosing a size with a 5-15 cm range of motion.
Yarn requirements
800, 900, 1000 (1100, 1200, 1350) [1450, 1600, 1700] meters, total of 2, 3, 3 (3, 3, 4) [4, 4, 5] balls of fingering/sock yarn, 400m/100g. The yarn consumption is calculated for a three-quarter length tapered sleeve.
ATTENTION! If working with two colors, keep in mind that this means 1, 1.5, 1.5 (1.5, 1.5, 2) [2, 2, 2.5] skeins of each color A & B.
The amount of yarn may vary depending on your choice of yarn. If you choose a different yarn, you may end up with more yarn than
specified quantities.
Gauge
16 stitches brioche = 10 cm after blocking. The knitting strength affects the result, both in terms of size and yarn consumption.
Knitting needles
Size 3.0 mm (or equivalent to get the right knitting strength) on cable. Good cable lengths to have on hand are 40/60/80/100 mm. Start with the shortest cable and increase as needed.
Sleeves are best worked with a magic loop, otherwise use your super short circular needle or double pointed needles of the same size.
Use knitting needles size 2.75 mm for neckline and cuffs if you choose to knit it.
Other
4 markers, extra cables for resting stitches, a darning needle for attaching yarn ends and a tape measure.
