Product Description
Sweaters Knitted in King Cole Merino Blend DK
What is Being Made
This downloadable PDF pattern from King Cole provides instructions for knitting sweaters in multiple sizes, ranging from 97 cm to 132 cm (38 to 52 inches) in finished chest measurement. The pattern is designed for intermediate-level knitters and uses King Cole Merino Blend DK yarn, offering versatile sizing options suitable for various body types and fit preferences.
Techniques Used
The pattern employs several fundamental and intermediate knitting techniques to construct the sweaters. Stocking stitch forms the primary fabric structure, created by knitting on right-side rows and purling on wrong-side rows to produce a smooth, classic appearance. Cable techniques are incorporated into the design, specifically using cable 2 back (C2B) stitches, which add textural interest and visual depth to the garment. The pattern also includes standard shaping methods such as increases and decreases to create proper garment fit and silhouette.
Stitches Used
The pattern utilizes a range of essential knitting stitches and abbreviations:
- Knit (K) and Purl (P) stitches form the foundation of the stocking stitch fabric
- Cable 2 Back (C2B) for decorative cable elements
- Yarn forward (yfwd) and yarn round needle (yrn) for creating texture variations
- Slip stitch (sl) and pass slipped stitch over (psso) for decrease shaping
- Increase (inc) and decrease (dec) techniques for garment shaping
Materials
This pattern is specifically designed for King Cole Merino Blend DK yarn, a double knit weight that provides excellent stitch definition and drape. The recommended needle size is 4mm for achieving the correct tension. The pattern requires checking tension before beginning, with the target gauge set at 29 stitches and 28 rows to 10 centimeters (4 inches) measured over pattern stitch on 4mm needles. Accurate tension is essential for ensuring the sweater achieves the intended finished measurements across the full size range.
