Note: This kit requires US 19 (15 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm). For sleeves you will need to use magic loop method when using size US 19 (15 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm). To avoid magic loop for sleeves you can use an additional size US 19 (15 mm) 20’’ (50 cm) circulars.
Buttons can be added to this style to make it your signature piece.
NOTE: A tapestry needle may be helpful when seaming and securing all loose ends.
