Chunky with a twist

If you're looking for a quick-to-knit sweater that combines both style and flattering design, look no further! This chunky sweater features unique side twisted cable panels that not only enhance its aesthetic but also provide a slimming effect, helping to create a beautifully shaped silhouette. The intricate twisted cable design also beautifully outlines the low neckline, adding a touch of elegance to your look.
The knitting process is straightforward: the main pieces are knitted flat up to the underarm, after which they are joined and knitted flat to the neckline. This design incorporates raglan shaping and front detail, making it perfect for knitters seeking a project with some interest but manageable complexity. To finish off, you’ll complete the sweater with a stylish back neck band and simple side and sleeve seaming.
As this pattern was created specifically for my own use, it is currently available in only one size, fitting a 36" bust. However, the design can be easily adapted for other sizes with slight adjustments. The sweater is suitable for any chunky yarn that matches the specified gauge, making it a versatile addition to your knitting repertoire. Whether you're preparing for chilly days or simply want a cozy knit to wear, this modern chunky sweater will make a fantastic addition to your wardrobe!
