ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Extra Chunky Sweater is the ultimate cozy sweater! Its vibrant colors and mix of yarns make it stand out, while the oversized fit and soft texture make it perfect for snuggling up. I love wearing mine—on days when I feel like making a statement or when I’d rather stay under the covers.

The sweater is worked top-down on 15 mm needles. The collar is knitted on 12 mm needles, and the ribbing at the cuffs and hem is done on 10 mm needles. The collar and sleeves are worked by picking up stitches along the neckline and armholes.

This sweater has an oversized, cropped fit but can easily be knitted longer. I knitted size 3 and have a bust measurement of 96 cm.

Happy knitting!

YARN SUGGESTIONS
Use chunky yarn and knit with up to four strands held together, but preferably no more than three. Opt for yarns recommended for 6 mm needles or larger.

Blown yarn and strong mohair, like Drops Air or Drops Melody, work well. Lighter yarns will help keep your sweater from becoming too heavy. Yarns like Drops Snow or Molly from Mayflower are also great choices for this project.
