Cardigan Crocheted DK Pattern - 6481

£3.50
Crochet trendy, modern statement cardigans with this King Cole 6481 crochet pattern. Designed for DK weight yarns, this exciting leaflet provides instructions to make two stylish adult hexagon cardigans: a relaxed open-front lady’s cardigan and a coordinating men’s cardigan. Constructed using the wildly popular crochet hexagon technique, two folded geometric panels are worked outward in joyful stripes before joining together with neat ribbed edgings and cuffs. Working with DK yarn on a 4mm crochet hook creates lightweight, breathable warmth with effortless drape. These cardigans are ideal for festival layering, casual weekends, everyday styling, and fun colourwork projects. We stock the printed pattern leaflet alongside a wide variety of quality DK yarns right here in our shop, so you can easily choose your favourite colour combinations and get hooking straight away.
