NOTE! Regarding the Cloud yarn: Please be aware that all skeins are unique, which is why they may vary a lot. If you want to avoid this, you can work 2 rounds with one skein and 2 rows with another skein as one would using hand dyed yarn. Furthermore, the Cloud yarn will expand a lot when washed and used (approximately 10 cm in the total length). To prevent this misshaping your final sweater, you can choose to work a size smaller when using this yarn quality.

Needles:
Circular needles 7 mm, 40 and 100 cm.
Circular needles 5 mm, 40 and 80 cm for the rib edge at the neck and on the bottom.
Double pointed needles (dpns) 5 mm for the rib on the sleeves.
Stitch markers: 9 pieces. Make sure they fit a size 7 mm needle.

Stripes: The stripes on the sweater are created by alternately using bulky and lace weight yarn. The stipes are created by repeating 4 rounds of bulky yarn followed by 2 rounds of lace weight yarn throughout the entire sweater.

Gauge: 10 cm x 10 cm = 13 sts x 16 rows in stockinette stitches using 7 mm needles alternating between the bulky and lace weight yarn.
NOTE: the height of the gauge swatch can be tricky to measure even when washed due to the liveliness of the yarn. As soon as the body of the sweater is done, the weight from the ribbing edge will even out the sweater and it will stretch a bit. It is thereby NOT important if the height of your gauge swatch matches perfectly since the pattern states the measurements in cm when needed.
