Chunky Adult & Child V-Neck Cardigan Knitting Pattern - 6280

Knit a family collection of cosy, contemporary essentials with this King Cole 6280 knitting pattern. Designed for Chunky weight yarns, this leaflet includes instructions to knit two timeless garments across child, ladies', and men's sizing: a classic round-neck Sweater and a button-front V-neck Cardigan. Both designs feature relaxed styling with neat ribbed cuffs, hem, and neck trims. The garments are worked on 5.00mm and 6.00mm knitting needles, alongside a 5.00mm circular needle to take the stitch volume of the continuous front border on the Cardigan. We stock the printed pattern leaflet alongside a range of quality Chunky weight yarns right here in our shop, so you can easily choose your favourite shade and cast on straight away.

Product Information

Please note that this listing is for the physical paper knitting pattern leaflet only, not the completed garments. Yarn, knitting needles, buttons, and notions are sold separately.

Tension note: Standard pattern tension is 14 stitches and 20 rows to 10 cm (4 inches) over stocking stitch using 6.00mm knitting needles. When substituting alternative chunky yarns from our collection or your stash, always knit a tension square on 6mm needles before beginning to ensure your garment matches the intended fit and sizing.
