Things you need to know about this pattern...

1. This pattern is made to measure. (A tape measure is essential. All of the measurements are provided below, you just need to measure your garment as you progress through the pattern).

2. As it is made to measure you can use any weight yarn and any size hook.

3. There is an option to stop wide sleeves whilst making the hexagons.

4. You can make it as long as you wish.

5. It includes a thinner sleeve option, hood, buttons and buttonholes and pockets.

Here are some yarn estimates based on a short length version in DK yarn and a 5mm hook...
