Chunkie Gussie
Chunkie Gussie – Your Ultimate Winter Dressing Fun! Experience the cozy charm of winter fashion with this delightful knitted garment. Chunkie Gussie is inspired by the original sport-weight design, Gussie, but this time it features a gently shaped lace knit crafted from aran weight yarn. The result? A warm, springy fabric that offers both comfort and style. The wide garter stitch bands elegantly trim the neckline and hems, beautifully balancing the eye-catching diagonal lace pattern—crafted from a meditative 10 stitch by 16 row repeat that's a breeze to master. Whether you choose to dress it up or down, layering options abound, and don’t hesitate to belt it for a chic touch (this is a personal favorite!). Each piece is skillfully knit flat and worked from the bottom up, with seamless finishing to ensure a polished look. Enjoy every stitch!

You’ll need to know how to execute a Long-tail CO, decrease stitches (skp, sk2p, ssk, k2tog), increase stitches (m1R, m1L, yo), perform a 3-needle BO, work short row shaping, set in sleeve caps, master stitch pick-up around the neckline, as well as blocking and seaming techniques.
