Blankets, Throw, Cushion & Wrap in King Cole Urban

Project Overview

This downloadable knitting pattern leaflet from King Cole features instructions for creating multiple coordinated home accessories in the Urban yarn line. The collection includes blankets, throws, cushions, and wraps, allowing crafters to select from various sizes to suit different spaces and preferences. Each project is designed as a beginner-friendly knitting pattern, making this collection accessible to knitters developing their foundational skills.

What Is Being Made

• Blankets in various sizes
• Throws in various sizes
• Cushions in various sizes
• Wraps in various sizes

Knitting Techniques and Stitches

The patterns utilize fundamental knitting techniques suitable for beginner-level crafters. The primary stitches employed throughout the collection include:

• Garter Stitch (G-st) – created by knitting every row, producing a textured, reversible fabric with horizontal ridges on both sides
• Stocking Stitch (St-St) – alternating knit and purl rows to create a smooth, classic fabric with a defined right side
• 2x2 Rib – a combination of knit and purl stitches in a repeating pattern that creates an elastic, textured surface

Tension and Gauge

The patterns are worked to a tension of 16 stitches and 26 rows to 10 centimetres (4 inches) over stocking stitch using plain yarn without Lurex or fur textures. This tension is achieved using 5mm (US8) knitting needles, or the size required to obtain the correct gauge for proper fit and drape.

Yarn and Materials

All projects in this collection are knitted using King Cole Urban yarn in Aran weight. The Aran weight classification provides a medium-thickness yarn suitable for creating items with good structure and relatively quick project completion. The specific yardage and gramme requirements vary by individual project and selected size, with detailed information provided within the pattern leaflet.

Pattern Features

The leaflet includes comprehensive abbreviations and special stitch instructions to guide knitters through each project. Standard knitting abbreviations are provided, such as K (knit), P (purl), inc (increase), dec (decrease), and rep (repeat), ensuring clarity throughout the pattern instructions. The multiple size options allow crafters to customize their finished projects to specific dimensions and applications.

For every King Cole pattern purchased, a donation is made to the Pink Ribbon Foundation.
