FAQs

What does DK stand for?

DK stands for Double Knit, which refers to the weight of the yarn.

Can I use a different type of yarn?

While the pattern is designed for King Cole Homespun Prism DK, you may be able to substitute with a similar weight yarn. However, you will need to adjust your needle size and gauge.

Where can I find the yarn?

King Cole Homespun Prism DK yarn can be found at most craft stores or online retailers.

What if I make a mistake?

It is normal to make mistakes! Use a stitch marker to mark the row where you discovered a mistake and unravel the stitches back to that point. Check pattern instructions carefully.

How do I measure my bust size correctly?

Use a flexible measuring tape and measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level.

What if my bust size falls in between sizes?

Choose the size that is closest to your measurement. If you prefer a looser fit, go up a size.

Troubleshooting

Incorrect gauge.

Check your tension against the pattern gauge. Adjust needle size if needed. Make a gauge swatch and measure it before starting your project.

Running out of yarn.

Purchase additional yarn of the same dye lot, or consider adapting the design to use less yarn.

Difficulty understanding the pattern.

Review the pattern instructions carefully. Seek guidance from knitting resources or online communities, or consider asking an experienced knitter for assistance.
