Product Information

Full details

This guide is for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a cardigan and sweater using the King Cole 5709 knitting pattern. The primary benefit is the clear instructions and size options (32" - 50" bust) making it accessible to a wide range of users. A potential caveat is the need for 3.25mm and 4.0mm knitting needles and King Cole Big Value Tweed DK yarn, which must be purchased separately. This guide provides detailed information to help you successfully complete your knitting project.
