I’m knitting up a new cardigan for my Little Miss. She picked out this colourful Baby Twinkle yarn from James C Brett in Dawn Chorus. I’ve combined it with this simple DK cardigan knitting pattern, King Cole 5541, to showcase those beautiful colours.
Keep on reading to see how I got on.
Knitting Yarn
This Twinkle Cardigan is knitted in Twinkle DK Yarn from James C Brett. Little Miss picked out this stunning colourway called Dawn chorus.
Knitting Tension
The yarn has a recommended tension of 22 stitches and 28 rows to 10cm/4in and this is exactly the same tension as the knitting pattern.
Knitting Needles
I’ve used 4mm knitting needles as recommended by the knitting pattern. With 3mm needles for the ribbing.
