3 short circular stitch holders or waste yarn (to hold live stitches for neckband and sleeves).
Blunt tapestry needle.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
This garment is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down.
Directions for the Provisional Cast On, the Knitted Cast On and the Icelandic Bind Off, as well as other useful information, can be found in the Special Techniques section of the book.
The yoke is knit in the round with increases occurring immediately after the cast on, as well as before and after each band of stranded colorwork.
The yoke is then divided to work the body, with additional stitches cast on at the underarms, while the sleeve stitches are held separately.
The sleeves are worked from the upper arm down with stitches picked up from the cast-on edge at the underarms and are tapered with decreases to the cuff.
The neckband is worked in stockinette from held stitches to produce a rolled edge at the neck.
Corrugated ribbing is worked at the hem and the cuffs.
