This week we changed that by knitting one of the cardigans from the UKHKA 281 knitting pattern (we chose the regular sleeved one).
We used a cotton yarn we had layng around, as UKHKA does not have their own yarn, they just recommend any cardigan DK.
We actually knitted the biggest size this time, which is about aged 2-3.
Take a peek below at what we used and our recommendations.
What you will need:
- UKHKA 281 KNITTING PATTERN
Chose from the regular sleeve or the cuffed sleeve - we chose regular.
DK YARN
The pattern recommends any cardigan DK yarn. We chose a Cotton DK we had laying around, but we do stock King Cole Cottonsoft DK, King Cole Cottonsmooth DK, King Cole Cottonsoft Crystal DK and James C Brett Cotton Waves DK - all would work well if cotton yarn if what you'd like to go for.
- 4MM KNITTING NEEDLE
We have these in 33cm Bamboo, 30cm or 25cm.
- 3.25 KNITTING NEEDLE
We have these in 33cm Bamboo, 30cm or 25cm.
- BUTTONS
For the size we knitted (the largest) so we needed 6 - we chose a yellow fisheye style.
- YARN NEEDLE
To attach pieces. We like these one. But we do have these plastic and metal ones.
- EMBROIDERY SCISSORS
To cut the yarn.
- STITCH MARKER
To count stitches.
- STITCH HOLDER
We have a whole range to choose from here.
- YARN HOLDER
Keep the yarn in place, preventing it from rolling away, by using this spinning yarn holder.
