Chunky Polo Neck & Round Neck Cardigan Knitting Pattern - 6205

Knit a pair of cosy, contemporary essentials with this King Cole 6386 knitting pattern. Designed for Chunky weight yarns, this leaflet includes complete instructions to knit two classic ladies' cold-weather garments: a comfortable round-neck Sweater and a versatile V-neck button-front Cardigan. Both designs feature clean lines accented by neat 1x1 ribbed borders along the hem, cuffs, and neckband/button placket. Worked on 5.00mm and 6.00mm straight knitting needles, the chunky yarn knits up quickly to create a warm, thick fabric with wonderful stitch definition. 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 starting to ensure your garment matches the intended fit and sizing.
