Yarn and Materials

This pattern calls for King Cole Wool Aran yarn, a medium-weight wool that works at a standard aran gauge. Aran weight yarn is ideal for creating garments with good drape and structure, and the wool fiber provides warmth and durability. You will need appropriate knitting needles sized for aran weight yarn to achieve proper gauge.

Pattern Format

The instructions are presented in a leaflet format, which typically includes sizing information, yardage requirements, step-by-step knitting instructions, and finishing details for both designs in one convenient publication.
