We’re delighted to present the latest book in the 52 weeks series published by @laine_magazine!
52 Weeks of Chunky Knits presents 52 trendy and relaxed designs, featuring a variety of techniques, textures and constructions. The book includes 25 patterns for sweaters, cardigans, slipovers and vests, as well as accessories and a few home decor items.
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! With patterns ranging from easy to advanced, the book is perfect for knitters of all skill levels.
These patterns are knitted with samples of 7 to 17 stitches x 10 to 30 rows for 10 cm and large needles. You can knit most of them in our large Cyrano yarn or by combining two yarns together, to have fun with the mix of materials and colours!
52 Weeks of Chunky Knits is the newest addition to Laine Publishing’s popular 52 Weeks book serie, which already includes volumes devoted to socks, shawls, accessories and easy knitting.
