52 Weeks of Chunky Knits

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.

The patterns are created by the following designers: Andrea Aho, Veranika Barel, Natalya Berezynska, Sylvie Bouchard, Cristina Cusano, Anna Daku, Jaime Dorfman, Arianna Frasca, Jonna Helin, Eliza Hinkes, Rastus Hsu, Dami Hunter, Claudia Joyal Laplante, Esti Juango, Faye Kennington, Vicky Knits, Sini Kramer, Pauliina Kuunsola, Brenda Lam, Pauliina Leisti, Bernice Lim, Lotta Löthgren, Sara Markkula, Aude Martin, Rebekka Mauser, Ayako Mizuno, Klara Nilsson, Yukie Onodera, Sara Ottosson, Kare Peacock, Heta Puronen, Tiia Pyykkö, Marie Régnier, Gina Rockenwagner, Cata Rubke, Megumi Shinagawa, Orlane Sucche, Lili Tobias, Thea Vesterby, Vivian Wei and Julia Wilkens.
