FAQs

What yarn should I use?

What sizes does the pattern cover?

Is this a finished garment?

Are the instructions in English?

What is cable knitting?

Cable knitting involves crossing stitches to create a textured, rope-like appearance on the fabric.

How do I check my tension?

Knit a tension square (a small swatch) using the pattern's recommended needles and yarn. Compare your gauge to the pattern's gauge to ensure your finished garment will be the correct size.

Where can I find Luxury Merino DK yarn?

Luxury Merino DK yarn is suggested, check with local yarn stores or online retailers that carry King Cole yarns.

Troubleshooting

Check your tension square and adjust needle size if necessary.

Pattern errors or confusion.

Runs or dropped stitches

Carefully pick up any dropped stitches using a crochet hook or knitting needle. Weave in the yarn ends securely.
