Product Information
Full details
This guide is for knitters of all skill levels who want to create a unisex sweater or slipover using the King Cole 6339 knitting pattern. The primary benefit is the ability to create a custom-fit garment in a variety of sizes. However, remember that this is a pattern, not a finished product, so you'll need to supply your own yarn and needles and do the knitting yourself.

FAQs
What kind of yarn should I use?
The pattern is designed for use with Fashion Aran yarn. However, you may be able to substitute with a similar weight yarn, but you must check the gauge.
What if my size is between the sizes provided?
Choose the size closest to yours. You can adjust the fit slightly by modifying the number of rows or stitches.
Where can I find the King Cole 6339 pattern?
The pattern is typically available at knitting shops, online retailers specializing in knitting patterns, or directly from King Cole.
What needles do I need?
You will need one pair of 4mm and 5mm knitting needles.
What are stitch holders used for?
Stitch holders are used to keep stitches live (active) while other parts of the garment are being knitted. This is helpful for shaping, such as creating armholes or necklines.
Can I use a different type of yarn?
You can try to use another type of yarn, but be sure to check your gauge first. The pattern is designed for Aran weight yarn.
What if I make a mistake?
Don't panic! For small mistakes, you can often tink back (knit backwards) or unravel a few rows. For larger mistakes, consider frogging (ripping out) the section and starting over.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty understanding the pattern instructions.
Reread the instructions carefully. Consult online knitting tutorials or forums for clarification. Check the pattern for errata (errors).
Gauge is not matching the pattern requirements.
Adjust needle size or your knitting tension until you achieve the correct gauge.
Running out of yarn.
Purchase additional yarn of the same dye lot. If the dye lot is unavailable, try to blend the new yarn seamlessly.
