FAQs
What size needles do I need?
The needle size will depend on the yarn you choose. Check the yarn label for the manufacturer's recommendation. Also, the pattern may provide its own recommendation.
Can I use a different type of yarn?
While the pattern is designed for double knit yarns, you might be able to substitute with another yarn type. However, you will need to adjust the needle size and check the gauge to ensure the finished garment fits correctly.
Where can I find Glitz DK yarn?
Glitz DK is the yarn illustrated in the leaflet. Check local yarn stores or online retailers that stock King Cole yarns.
What if I run out of yarn?
Purchase another ball of yarn of the same color and dye lot. If you cannot find the same dye lot, try to find a shade that is close.
Can I alter the pattern?
Yes, you can alter the pattern, but keep in mind that this will require experience in knitting. Be sure to measure frequently to ensure the garment fits correctly.
