you'll need:
- enough yarn in any weight - vague (very approximate!) estimates can be seen here; a warm-weather yarn is recommended (the green & grey sample is in Plymouth Yarn Nettle Grove, 45% cotton, 28% linen, 15% silk, 12% nettle fiber, 2 balls of Seagrass, 2 balls of Grey Pearl, approx 750 yards / 685 meters used total, for a large-ish size - 38 inch / 97 cm bust - with pockets)
- needles sized to match your yarn, a medium-length circular (24" or 32" / 60cm or 80cm depending on your size), used to knit the top flat and work the body in the round
- a tape measure and a calculator (or calculator phone/computer app) for finding your custom numbers
