· Sizes:

According to the pattern:

– 1 and 2: 1 skein (Bastien c1) + 1/2 (Léo cc 2) + 1/2 (Ella cc 3) + 1/2 (Fransesca cc 4)

. 3: 1 skein of each color (c1) + 1 (cc2) + 1 (cc3) + 1 (cc4)

Personally:

I took the size 1 and 2 kit and did the same number of rows as size 1 and 2,

with the number of stitches for size 3 and about 0.5 g per color was left.

* Note that I knit very loosely (so, I use more yarn and I reduced my needles to 2.75 and 2.5 mm)

– 4, 6, 7: 2 skeins (c1) + 1 x (cc2) + 1 x (cc3) + 1 x (cc4) (according to the pattern)

*for sizes 4 and 5 you could order the size 3 kit and reduce the sleeve length.

· 8, 9: 2 skeins (c1) + 2 (cc2) + 2 (cc3) + 2 (cc4) = 9 skeins

For the gauge:

◊ 25 sts and 38 rows = 10 cm / 4″ in stockinette stitch with the larger needle, after blocking.
28 sts and 39 rows = 10 cm / 4″ in 1×1 rib with the smaller needle, after blocking.
Always use a needle size that allows you to get the correct gauge.

You will also need, to complete the pattern: (not included)

◊ 3.25 mm / US 3, 61 cm / 24″ or 81 cm / 32″ circular needle for the main body.
3.25 mm / US 3, 40 cm / 16″ circular needle, or set of double-pointed needles, or longer circular needle for the Magic Loop on the sleeves.
Spare 3.25 mm / US 3 needle for the 3-needle bind-off.
2.75 mm / US 2 circular needle (or 1 size smaller than the main needle), 61 cm / 24″ or 81 cm / 32″ for the hem, and 40 cm / 16″ circular needle for the collar and sleeve cuffs.
