Materials Needed
- Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, 100% wool
- Needles: US size 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
- Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Step-by-Step Instructions
Back Panel
- Begin by casting on 50 stitches using your US size 15 knitting needles.
- Work in garter stitch for 4 rows to create the hem. To do this, knit every row.
- After completing the hem, switch to stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl the next) and continue knitting until the piece measures 20 inches from the cast-on edge.
- Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge remains flexible.
Front Panel
- Cast on 50 stitches as you did for the back panel.
- Work in garter stitch for 4 rows to create the hem.
- Now, switch to a textured pattern as follows:
- Row 1 (Right Side): *K2, P2* repeat to the end of the row.
- Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P2, K2* repeat to the end of the row.
- Continue this textured pattern for 20 inches.
- Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely.
Sleeves
- For each sleeve, pick up 30 stitches along the armhole edge of the body.
- Work in stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl the next) until the sleeve measures desired length.
- Every 4th row, decrease 1 stitch at each end of the sleeve until you have 20 stitches remaining.
- Once you reach the desired stitch count, bind off all stitches loosely.
Assembly
- Carefully sew the side seams of the body together, ensuring the edges align properly.
- Sew the underarm seams of the sleeves to the body, making sure the sleeves are positioned correctly.
- To finish the neckline, pick up stitches around the neckline edge and work in garter stitch for 4 rows.
- Finally, bind off the neckline stitches loosely to maintain flexibility.
Congratulations! You have now completed your Alpine Peaks Chunky Sweater. This voluminous, oversized sweater with its rich texture will keep you warm and stylish during the colder months. Enjoy wearing your handmade creation!
