Yarn

Worsted weight yarn with a suggested gauge of 5 sts per inch / 2.5cm.

The most important thing is to use a smooth yarn with good stitch definition. Some elasticity is needed but yarns with a percentage of inelastic fibres can be used because the twisted ribs, cables and seams help hold the shape. Watch out for yarns that split easily as the twisted cables will be harder to work.
Altering the body length will require a change in the yarn required of approximately 5% per inch / 2.5cm.
