King Cole 4846: All-in-One, Hoody, Pants and Hat Knitted in King Cole Chunky

King Cole pattern 4846 is a charming and practical set of baby and toddler knitwear worked in King Cole Chunky yarn. The pattern covers four separate but coordinating pieces: a all-in-one bodysuit, a hoody sweater, pants, and a hat, making it an ideal collection for dressing a young child from head to toe in cosy, chunky knitwear. Sizes range from 36 cm to 56 cm (approximately 14 to 22 inches), accommodating newborns through to older babies and young toddlers. This is rated as an intermediate knitting project, suitable for knitters who are comfortable with shaping techniques and working multiple pattern pieces.

For every King Cole pattern purchased, a donation is made to the Pink Ribbon Foundation, meaning your crafting also supports a meaningful charitable cause.

Garments Included in King Cole Pattern 4846

All-in-One Bodysuit

The centrepiece of this pattern is a knitted all-in-one, a full-body garment that combines a top and integrated pants into a single seamless-style piece. This type of garment is especially practical for babies, providing warmth and coverage without gaps at the waist. The all-in-one features a raglan sleeve construction, which is a classic and highly functional design where the sleeve extends in one diagonal line from the collar to the underarm. Raglan shaping eliminates the need for a traditional set-in sleeve seam, creating a comfortable, flexible fit that suits the active movements of babies and toddlers.

The bodysuit is constructed in two main sections — a front and a back — each of which includes integrated legs. The instructions refer to a First Leg and a Second Leg worked as part of both the front and back pieces, which are then joined to form the complete garment. Neck shaping is worked on the front piece, with stitches placed onto a thread holder for later finishing, a technique commonly used to keep live stitches available for neckband pickup. Decreases at both the neck edge and the raglan edge are worked simultaneously, requiring the knitter to manage two shaping lines at once — one reason this pattern is classified as intermediate difficulty.

Hoody

The hoody is a separate sweater-style garment featuring a hood, providing extra warmth and a fashionable look for young children. Like the all-in-one, it utilises raglan sleeve shaping for a comfortable, roomy fit. The hoody is worked as individual pieces — front, back, sleeves, and hood — that are then seamed together. This construction approach gives knitters practice in reading and matching multiple pattern pieces.

Pants

The pants are a standalone knitted trouser piece designed to coordinate with the other garments in the set. Worked in King Cole Chunky yarn, they provide a warm and substantial fabric well suited to cooler weather. The pants feature ribbed waistband and leg cuff sections, created using a rib stitch pattern — specifically a 1x1 rib (knit 1, purl 1 alternating) — which provides stretch and helps the garment stay in place on a baby or toddler. The body of the pants is worked in stocking stitch (right side knit, wrong side purl), the smooth, classic fabric that forms the main body of all the garments in this set.

Hat

The hat completes the set, providing a matching accessory to keep little heads warm. Worked in King Cole Chunky yarn, the hat is a relatively quick knit and makes an excellent standalone project for knitters who wish to make just the accessory. It is sized to coordinate with the garment size range of 36 cm to 56 cm, ensuring a well-matched look across the full set.

Techniques Used in King Cole 4846

Raglan Sleeve Shaping

Raglan shaping is a key technique throughout this pattern. It involves working paired decreases at regular intervals along the raglan lines — the diagonal seams running from the underarm to
