Needles & finishing tools
3.5mm straight needles, a body circular measuring 80cm and a 40cm circular for the neckband and armbands. Body: one 80cm-labelled cable with regular 13cm tips. A separate 40cm-labelled cable pairs with the short 10cm tips. Choose own cables only if you have both compatible lengths.

3.5mm straight needles, a body circular measuring 140cm and a 40cm circular for the neckband and armbands. The body setup uses joined cables; its assembled length is approximate. Body: join the 100cm-labelled and 60cm-labelled cables using a 35mm connector from the included set, then attach the regular tips. This creates an approximately 140cm circular needle. A separate 40cm-labelled cable pairs with the short 10cm tips. Choose own cables only if you have both compatible lengths and any required connector.
The pattern requires stitch holders and a stitch marker. Add the tools you do not already own.
For joined setups, cable labels describe a cable with tips attached, not its bare length. Follow the stated cable combination, tighten the connector with its key and check the assembled length before casting on.
A tapestry needle, measuring tape and scissors are useful finishing tools; these are not automatically added.
Tension & care
20 stitches × 30 rows to 10cm over rib pattern using 3.5mm needles and yarn held double.
Make a tension square and adjust your needle size if needed. Follow the yarn labels for care instructions.

Before you begin
Can I use my own tools or pattern?
Yes. Select only what you need. The own-cables option removes both the short and body cables, plus the connector where applicable; needle tips remain selected.
Why does the needle package change with size?
Rowan specifies different body circular lengths as the garment grows. The builder selects the matching cable or joined-cable setup for your chosen size, while retaining the separate 40cm circular.
