Super Chunky Cardigan & Waistcoat Knitting Pattern - 6065

Knit a pair of chic, cosy layering pieces with this King Cole 6065 knitting pattern leaflet. Designed for Super Chunky weight yarns, this pattern provides complete instructions to knit two stylish ladies' wardrobe staples: a classic long-sleeved button-front Cardigan and a trendy sleeveless button-front Waistcoat. Both garments feature neat ribbed edgings along the hem, button placket, and neckline (plus armhole trims for the waistcoat). The pieces are worked on straight 8.00mm and 10.00mm knitting needles, allowing super chunky yarns to knit up remarkably fast into warm, thick, and well-structured garments. We stock the printed pattern leaflet alongside a selection of quality Super 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: Tension is worked over 10.00mm knitting needles as specified in the pattern leaflet (standard pattern tension is 10 stitches and 14 rows to 10 cm / 4 inches over stocking stitch). When substituting alternative super chunky yarns from our collection or your stash, always knit a tension square on 10mm needles before starting to ensure your garment achieves the correct size and fit.
