Sweater, Pullover, Hat & Scarf in King Cole Big Value Super Chunky Twist – Pattern 4614

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from King Cole (pattern number 4614) provides instructions for four coordinating knitwear pieces: a sweater, a pullover (slipover), a hat, and a scarf. All four designs are worked in King Cole Big Value Super Chunky Twist yarn, making this a bold, cosy collection ideal for autumn and winter wardrobes. The pattern is rated intermediate in difficulty, making it well suited to knitters who are comfortable with shaping and reading multi-piece patterns but who may not yet have tackled highly complex construction methods.

What Is Being Made

Sweater

The sweater is a full-sleeved, warm-weather-ready knit constructed with raglan sleeves, a classic and practical design feature where the sleeve extends in one piece to the collar, eliminating a traditional shoulder seam. This creates a relaxed, comfortable fit and a clean, modern silhouette. The sweater is sized to fit chest measurements of 81–107 cm (32–42 in), covering a broad range of adult sizes.

Pullover (Slipover)

The pullover, also referred to as a slipover, is a sleeveless garment designed to be worn over shirts or lighter layers. Like the sweater, it is worked to fit chest measurements of 81–107 cm (32–42 in) and shares the same yarn and overall aesthetic as the rest of the collection. Slipovers are a practical and stylish choice, offering warmth to the core without the bulk of full sleeves.

Hat

The hat is a knitted accessory designed to coordinate with the sweater and scarf, completing the set. Worked in the same King Cole Big Value Super Chunky Twist yarn, it knits up quickly thanks to the super chunky weight and large needles involved.

Scarf

The scarf rounds out the collection as a straightforward accessory piece. Like the hat, it benefits from the speed and ease of super chunky knitting, making it an accessible project even within an intermediate-level pattern set.

Techniques Used

The pattern makes use of several fundamental and intermediate knitting techniques:

• Raglan sleeve shaping – a defining construction technique for the sweater, requiring careful decrease work along raglan lines to shape the armhole and sleeve cap simultaneously.
• Increasing and decreasing – used throughout for shaping armholes, necklines, and sleeve tapers. The pattern references both inc (increase) and dec (decrease) methods, as well as psso (pass slipped stitch over), a common decrease technique.
• Working in pattern (patt) – sections of the garments are worked following a set stitch pattern rather than plain stocking stitch, requiring the knitter to maintain pattern continuity while simultaneously working shaping rows.
• Tension/gauge swatching – the pattern strongly emphasises checking tension before beginning, with two separate tension requirements depending on needle size used.

Stitches Used

The pattern incorporates a variety of stitch types, each contributing to the texture and structure of the finished pieces:

• Rib stitch – used prominently, with a tension of 12 stitches and 14 rows to 10 cm (4 in) over rib on 9 mm needles. Rib is formed by alternating knit and purl stitches in columns, creating a stretchy, form-fitting fabric ideal for cuffs, hems, and neckbands.
• Stocking stitch (st-st) – the classic knit-on-right-side, purl-on-wrong-side fabric, producing a smooth, flat surface. This is one of the most widely used base fabrics in garment knitting.
• Reversed stocking stitch (rev st-st) – the opposite of stocking stitch, with purl on the right side and knit on the wrong side, creating a textured, bumpy surface that adds visual interest.
• Garter stitch (gst) – every row knitted, producing a rid
