Note: The size 15 needles are used only for ribbing—on the Sleeve cuffs and on the collar. You can use straight size 15 needles for the cuffs, but you’ll need the long circular needle for the collar (and you can use it—going back and forth rather than in the round--for the cuffs).

GAUGE:
9 sts and 14 rows = 4 in (10 cm) in St stitch pattern (knit RS rows, purl WS rows) using size 10½ needles. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES:
In this pattern, the larger size needles are used for the cuff and collar ribbing. The smaller size needles are used for the body parts knit in stockinette stitch.

Made this back in 2008. Got ton of compliments. It fits smaller than pictured even when additional stitches are used.
