Product Information
Full details
The King Cole 6021 knitting pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters looking to create a complete, royalty-inspired baby wardrobe featuring a coronation crown motif. This versatile pattern provides clear instructions for a sweater, hoodie, hat, trousers, and shorts, making it an excellent choice for a handmade gift or a coordinated newborn set. While the pattern is comprehensive, it is designed specifically for use with double knit yarn, so users must be comfortable with gauge adjustments if substituting yarn weights.

FAQs
What yarn weight do I need for this pattern?
This pattern is specifically designed for double knit (DK) yarn.
What size range does this pattern cover?
The pattern covers baby sizes from 36 cm to 56 cm (14 to 22 inches).
Does this pattern include trousers?

Are needles included with the pattern?
No, this is a paper knitting pattern leaflet only; you will need to provide your own knitting needles.
Can I use this for a beginner project?
While the stitches themselves are standard, the addition of the crown motif makes this better suited for intermediate knitters.
Troubleshooting
The garment size does not match the dimensions on the pattern.
Check your tension gauge; if your stitches are too loose, switch to a smaller needle size. If too tight, use a larger needle size.
The crown motif looks distorted.
Ensure you are carrying your yarn correctly across the back and not pulling too tightly, which can pucker the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin this project, ensure you have the appropriate needles recommended on the yarn label for your chosen double knit yarn. It is highly recommended to knit a tension square before starting to ensure your gauge matches the pattern requirements. For care, once the items are completed, hand wash in cool water using a gentle wool detergent and lay flat to dry to preserve the shape of the crown motif and the integrity of the delicate baby knitwear.
