6 mm double-pointed needles for the sleeve cuffs, if you are not using the Magic Loop technique.

The finished sweater has a slightly oversized fit. Instructions are provided for both a slightly shorter, cropped version and a regular-length version.

Size S/M will fit an approximate bust measurement of 75–100 cm, and size L/XL will fit an approximate bust measurement of 100–120 cm.

The sweater is knitted from the bottom up. The sleeves and body are knitted separately, and the sleeves are sewn on afterwards. Both circular knitting and knitting back and forth with knit and purl stitches are used. Everything is worked using circular needles.
