Needles: 4.5 mm (US size 7) circular needle. I recommend using an 80 cm or 100 cm circular for the body, depending on the size you’re knitting.
Yarn: Sport weight yarn, approximately 500, (550, 600, 700) (750, 825, 875) (925, 1000) meters / 547, (601, 656, 766) (820, 902, 957) (1012, 1094) yards. I made this top with Mayflower Merino: The Collection in the colorway Sun. It’s a 100% SW merino yarn and comes in packs with four 50 g skeins (à 160 meters) with a gradient color change.
Other tools: crochet hook, darning needle, scissors, stitch markers, measuring tape, scrap yarn OR extra cable.
