We Want The Chunk Sweater




Isn't this yarn just gorgeous!
I'm completely obsessed with this neon colour and I had to 
make the chunkiest of all chunky sweaters with it.


It's guaranteed to make any project super fast.
Super bulky and available in so many colours, 
at 100% wool it will soon become your new fav!

*Ribbing optional

This will be the fastest sweater you'll ever make.
You can make it ANY length and ANY size you want!



Notes before you begin:
-the initial chain will determine how wide your front/back panels will be.  Hold it up against you to get the perfect width before you begin the body of the sweater.
-To alter the length of the sweater, add more rows
-you can use any Super Bulky yarn you choose, just check your gauge.
-this sweater is made up of 4 separate panels: front panel, back panel, and 2 sleeves.
-the panels/sleeves are all worked in the same stitch: Extended Single Crochet in the Back Loop Only.
