Using an aran-weight yarn so after swatching I figured out I could knit several sizes smaller than you’d normally guess. Also, knitting on 5mm needles again should be fun!

Measurements needed (as taken from his favourite wool jumper)
A. Chest circumference: 130 cm
B. Underarm length: 45 cm
C. Hem to underarm: 45 cm
D. Biceps circumference: 36 cm

Casting on with 4.5 mm needles for the ribbing.
Continuing on on 5mm needles for the stockinette.
