52 Weeks of Chunky Knits

Various designers

Description

52 Weeks of Chunky Knits presents 52 trendy and relaxed designs, featuring a variety of techniques, textures and constructions.

What is actually meant by "chunky"? In this book, the patterns typically have a gauge of 12-14 stitches (or fewer) to 4 inches/10 centimeters. Most of the designs are worked in worsted-weight, chunky or super chunky yarns or by holding multiple strands of thinner yarns together. Chunky knits are sometimes seen as easy or simple but these 52 patterns prove they're not just for beginners. Skill levels range from easy to intermediate and more advanced, featuring many elaborate details and interesting techniques.

The 52 patterns for chunky knits (51 knitting and 1 crochet) include: 11 sweaters, 7 cardigans, 4 slipovers, 3 vests, 1 dress, 8 scarves, 2 cowls, 6 hats, 5 mittens, 2 pillows, 1 balaclava, 1 bag and 1 blanket. The garments come in 8-10 sizes and are graded to fit at least a 60 inch/152 centimetre chest.
