6575 King Cole Ladies Cable Slipover & Tunic Knitting Pattern in Chunky – Printed Leaflet
Create two beautiful cable-knit garments with the King Cole 6575 Ladies Chunky Knitting Pattern, featuring a stylish short slipover and a longer-length tunic. Both designs showcase striking cable stitch patterns and comfortable, sleeveless styling, making them ideal for layering throughout autumn and winter.
Designed for King Cole Big Value Chunky yarn, this versatile knitting pattern combines traditional cable knitting with contemporary shapes, offering two lovely additions to your handmade wardrobe.
The Slipover is a shorter, sleeveless design featuring a classic round neckline, decorative cable panels, ribbed edging and neatly finished cap-style shoulders. Perfect for wearing over shirts, blouses or long-sleeved tops, it creates a cosy layered look without the bulk of a full sweater.
The Tunic offers a longer, relaxed silhouette with an eye-catching central cable design, round neckline and extended shoulders. The ribbed hem and side splits add a flattering finishing touch, making it ideal for pairing with leggings, jeans or slim-fitting trousers.
With six sizes to fit bust measurements from 32–54 inches (81–137cm), this pattern offers plenty of choice for creating a personalised, comfortable knit.
