With sheer horror I remember the moment we had to make our own knit “couture” in home ec class. It could be anything, from a tote bag to a pair of socks, or a scarf, or a tiny doll... the list goes on. I thought that a knitted bow tie for Father’s Day was a great idea, but expectation vs reality hit and the final result looked like a pastel wool blob asking to be tacitly discarded.
This cool pattern is free with your purchase of Plump Superchunky yarn for this pattern by Mrs Moon! Just let us know in the Notes section of your order and we will email you the pattern. Hunky Dory is a two-colour brioche knit with a very sloppy fit and fabulous voluminous sleeves. It’s knitted from the top down in the round and comes in sizes S through to XXL. It’s knitted on 12mm needles so although it sounds as though it could be a heavy knit it’s actually incredibly light and squishy. The pattern includes videos on how to set up the brioche, the brioche increases and decreases (at the cuff). If you’ve never done two colour brioche before, it really isn’t difficult and you can certainly give it a first go with this jumper but it’s probably not for a total beginner! The jumper is a very loose fit. We’d really recommend checking out the different size measurements if you want a closer fitting garment or are considering sizing up. We’ve had lots of positive feedback about this sweater already. It uses two colours of Plump Superchunky. Shown here in Lemon Curd & Pavlova and Malt Loaf & Gooseberry Fool. Feel free to make your own combos, or check out our kits with our recommended combos here! You will need: Plump Superchunky: Main colour (shown in Lemon Curd): 4 (5, 5, 6, 6) Contrast colour (shown in Pavlova): 3 (4, 4, 5, 5) 12mm circular needles (60cm and longer as required) 10mm circular needles or dpns for neck and cuffs. Scraps of yarn for stitch holders and stitch markers Gauge: 6.5sts and 8.5 rows to 10cm (4”) in pattern. Sizes: S (M, L, XL, XXL) Finished garment measurements: Size Chest Circ. Length Small 135cm (53") 42.5cm (16 ½") Medium 147cm (58") 47cm (18 ½") Large 160cm (63") 51.5cm (20 ¼") X-Large 172cm (67") 56cm (22") XX-Large 178cm (70") 56cm (22")
