Chunky knitwear has been a huge trend in recent years, attracting many young and fashionable makers to the craft. While chunky knits are often perceived as simple, this book proves that they are not just for beginners or those seeking effortless projects. Most of the designs are worked in worsted-weight, chunky or super-chunky yarns or by holding multiple strands of thinner yarns together. At this gauge, knitting is much faster — making for ideal last-minute gifts or quick ways to get cosy! The patterns’ skill level ranges from easy to intermediate and beyond, featuring many elaborate details and interesting techniques that will challenge and captivate all knitters.
