FAQs
Does this pattern include the yarn?
No, the pattern leaflet is a separate instructional guide. You will need to purchase King Cole Cherish or Cherished DK yarn separately.
What skill level is this pattern for?
It is designed for knitters who understand basic knitting, shaping, and following written pattern instructions.
Can I use a different brand of DK yarn?
While the pattern is designed for King Cole, you can use any DK yarn, provided you perform a tension swatch to match the gauge required by the pattern.
Are the buttons included?
No, you must source your own buttons that fit the buttonholes as specified in the pattern instructions.
Is this a digital file?
No, this is a physical paper pattern leaflet that will be shipped to you.
Troubleshooting
Finished garment seems too small
Check your tension against the pattern's suggested gauge. If your stitches are too tight, try using a slightly larger needle size.
Unsure about color placement
Lay out your yarn skeins next to each other before casting on to visualize the contrast between your chosen colors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure you have both 3.25mm and 4mm needles ready. The 3.25mm needles are typically used for ribbing to maintain a snug fit at the cuffs and hem, while 4mm needles are used for the body and sleeves to provide the correct tension. To care for the finished cardigans, follow the care instructions provided on the yarn label you select, as laundering requirements vary by fiber composition. Always store your physical pattern in a plastic sleeve to prevent creasing or tearing during long-term storage.
