Product Information
Full details
This guide is for knitters of all skill levels looking to create adorable garments for babies using the King Cole 6016 pattern. The key benefit is the ability to knit three different stylish designs (round neck cardigan, V-neck cardigan, and sweater) with cabled details, all in one pattern. A potential caveat is that the pattern is designed for King Cole Comfort Aran yarn, so substitutions may affect the final look and feel.
