PATTERN PICKS


Top tips for


CHUNKY


KNITS


Choose an airblown yarn
to keep it light. DROPS Air
would be a good example
of this

When seaming, use a
matching thinner yarn
in a matching colour –
much easier!

Be careful when substituting



  • there’s more variation
    within the category of
    ‘chunky’ than there is in
    other weights!


If your joints get sore easily,
go for something worked in
small pieces and is seamed
so it doesn’t get too heavy

Bigger yarn = bigger swatch.
Measure over at least 25
stitches, even if that’s more
than 10cm
