Product Description
Cardigan and Top in King Cole DK - Pattern 4409
What is Being Made
This downloadable PDF pattern from King Cole provides instructions for knitting both a cardigan and a coordinating top. The designs are suitable for a range of sizes, fitting chest measurements from 81 to 107 centimeters (32 to 42 inches). Both garments are classified as beginner-friendly knitting projects, making them accessible to knitters who are new to garment construction.
Craft and Techniques
This is a knitting project worked in King Cole DK (double knit) yarn weight. The pattern is rated as Easy Knit
- Stocking stitch (abbreviated st-st): the foundational fabric created by knitting on the right side and purling on the wrong side, producing a smooth, classic knit appearance
- Garter stitch (abbreviated gst): created by knitting every row, often used for borders, edgings, or textured sections
- Basic knit and purl stitches (K and P): the fundamental building blocks of all knitted fabric
- Shaping techniques including increases and decreases to create fitted garment shaping
- Standard finishing techniques such as slipping stitches and passing slipped stitches over for decreasing
Materials and Tools
This pattern requires King Cole DK yarn, a medium-weight yarn that works at a standard tension of 22 stitches and 28 rows to 10 centimeters (4 inches) over stocking stitch. Knitters will need 4mm needles to achieve the correct gauge. A tension square should be knitted before beginning the garment to ensure proper fit; adjustments to needle size (finer needles if tension is loose, or larger needles if tension is tight) may be necessary.
