King Cole Gypsy Super Chunky Pattern 5067: Seven Accessories in One Downloadable PDF

This King Cole pattern 5067 is a comprehensive knitting pattern offering seven distinct accessories all worked in King Cole Gypsy Super Chunky yarn. The collection includes a Shoulder Wrap, Shoulder Cover, Lace Triangular Wrap, Hat, Neck Scarf, Scarf, and Tabbard. Rated as intermediate in difficulty, this pattern is an excellent choice for knitters who are comfortable with basic techniques and ready to explore textured stitches, simple lace, and shaping. The super chunky weight means projects work up quickly on large needles, making this collection both satisfying and practical.

Yarn and Materials

All seven designs are knitted using King Cole Gypsy Super Chunky yarn. The pattern calls for two needle sizes to achieve the correct tension for different pieces:

• 10mm knitting needles — used for the main fabric of several pieces, achieving a tension of 10 stitches and 14 rows to 10cm over Stocking Stitch
• 8mm knitting needles — used where Double Moss Stitch is specified, achieving a tension of 13 stitches and 18 rows to 10cm over Double Moss Stitch

As with all knitting patterns, achieving the stated tension is essential. If your stitch count is too low per 10cm, switch to a finer needle; if too high, switch to a larger needle. Stitch markers are also referenced within the pattern instructions.

Stitches and Techniques Used

This pattern introduces and combines a variety of classic knitting stitches and textures, making it a well-rounded project set for building skills. The following stitch patterns are used across the seven designs:

• Garter Stitch (G-St) — every row is knitted, creating a ridged, reversible fabric. Used here for borders and structural sections.
• 1x1 Rib — alternating single knit and purl stitches across the row, creating an elastic, neat edge. Worked over a two-row repeat.
• 2x2 Rib — alternating pairs of knit and purl stitches, also worked over a two-row repeat, producing a more pronounced ribbed texture.
• Double Moss Stitch — a four-row repeat stitch that alternates knit and purl stitches in a shifting pattern, creating a dense, attractive textured fabric. Used extensively, including as the primary stitch for the Shoulder Wrap.
• Simple Lace — yarn forward (yfwd) increases are used in the Lace Triangular Wrap to create decorative eyelets, giving a delicate open appearance even in a chunky weight yarn.
• Shaping techniques — the pattern uses both increases (inc) and decreases (dec), including working increases within the first stitch and at specific points within a row, to shape pieces such as the triangular wrap and other fitted accessories.
• Slip stitch — referenced in abbreviations as slipping one stitch knitways (s1), used for neat edges and shaping.

The Shoulder Wrap

The Shoulder Wrap is worked entirely in Double Moss Stitch on 10mm needles, casting on 25 stitches. The piece is worked in a long rectangular format, with a marker placed partway through to indicate a key point in the construction. It is available in multiple length options — 100cm, 110cm, and 120cm — making it adaptable to different preferences. The wrap is cast off in pattern, preserving the textured finish throughout.

The Lace Triangular Wrap

The Lace Triangular Wrap is shaped using a series of increases worked at the beginning of rows, building from just a few stitches into a full triangular form. Yarn forward (yfwd) stitches introduce a lace element, creating an open, decorative pattern that contrasts beautifully with the chun
