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 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.
