Fairisle Cardigan & Jumper Knitting Pattern - 6413

Knit a pair of striking Fairisle style garments with this King Cole knitting pattern leaflet. Designed for King Cole Dalesway Chunky (or any compatible King Cole Chunky yarn), this pattern provides complete instructions to knit two cosy ladies' pieces: a two-colour round-neck Sweater and a multi-tone button-front Cardigan. The garments are worked using straight, circular, and double-pointed needles in 5.50mm and 6.00mm sizes, allowing the wool-blend chunky yarn to knit up quickly into warm, structured fabrics with crisp colour definitions and neat trims. We stock the printed pattern leaflet alongside King Cole Dalesway Chunky right here in our shop, so you can easily choose your favourite rustic shades and cast on straight away.
