FAQs
What kind of yarn should I use?
The pattern is designed for double knit (DK) yarns. The leaflet suggests Linendale DK, but you can use any DK yarn, keeping in mind that tension may vary.
What sizes does the pattern cover?
The pattern covers bust sizes from 32" to 50" (81cm - 127cm).
Is this a finished garment?
No, this is a knitting pattern, and you will need to knit the cardigan yourself.
Can I use a different type of needle?
You can use the needle size recommended for your chosen yarn, but this will affect your gauge.
How do I care for the finished cardigan?
Follow the care instructions on your yarn label. Hand washing in cool water and laying flat to dry is often recommended.
Where can I find the yarn illustrated in the leaflet?
The yarn used in the illustration is Linendale DK. Check with your local yarn store or online retailers for availability.
Troubleshooting
Incorrect Size
Check your tension square again and adjust your needle size if necessary. Ensure you are following the pattern instructions accurately.

Carefully check your knitting for dropped stitches or incorrect stitches. Use a crochet hook to fix any dropped stitches.
