Let’s go chunky! The newest addition to Laine's 52 Weeks series is finally here: 52 Weeks of Chunky Knits! This book offers abundant knitting inspiration for warm and cosy pieces, just what we need for autumn and winter! 

52 Weeks of Chunky Knits includes 25 patterns for sweaters, cardigans, slipovers and vests, as well as accessories and a few home decor items. The designs are contemporary, stylish and relaxed, showcasing a variety of techniques and constructions. Expect bold cables, beautiful colourwork, fascinating textures, and generous proportions!

The patterns typically have a gauge of 12–14 stitches (or fewer) to 4" / 10 cm. Most of the designs are worked in worsted-weight, chunky or super-chunky yarns or by holding multiple strands of thinner yarns together. 

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. 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.
