FAQs

What kind of yarn should I use?

The pattern recommends King Cole Pricewise DK yarn for best results. Other DK weight yarns can be substituted, but gauge may vary.

Where can I buy the King Cole Pricewise DK yarn?

King Cole Pricewise DK yarn is available at most yarn shops and online retailers that sell knitting supplies.

Is this pattern suitable for beginners?

The pattern is designed for knitters with some experience. Beginners may find it challenging.

What sizes are included in the pattern?

The pattern includes sizes from 31 - 56cm (12 - 22in).

Can I use different needles?

You can use different needles, but make sure to check the gauge to ensure it matches the pattern's requirements.

What do I do if I make a mistake?

Carefully unravel the stitches back to the mistake and correct it. Use a stitch holder to keep your live stitches from unravelling further if necessary.
