Sideways Cable Crewneck
Welcome to chunky knit season, my absolute favorite time of year! This oversized sweater is not only stylish but incredibly cozy, making it a perfect addition to your fall and winter wardrobe. Designed with a striking giant cable pattern, this sweater is as fun to knit as it is to wear. Crafted flat rather than in the round, the pattern is provided row by row without any charts, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels.
The sweater comes in one size, with finished measurements of 23” in length and a generous 46” circumference when laid flat. This versatile sizing allows for a comfortable fit that's perfect for layering! To create your incredible knit masterpiece, you will need 875 yards of chunky weight yarn. The sample shown uses "We Are Knitters The Petite Wool," showcasing both warmth and style.
You'll also need US #11 straight needles and a US #11 circular needle specifically for the neckband, which can be in the 16”-24” range. Don’t forget a cable needle (CN) and some stitch markers to keep your knitting organized! Achieving the right texture is crucial; the gauge for this pattern is 14 stitches per 4” in stockinette stitch, or 3.5 stitches per 1”.
This chunky knit sweater not only offers a delightful crafting experience, but its unique design makes it a standout piece that you'll truly enjoy wearing. Start knitting your cozy, oversized sweater today and embrace the chunky knit season in style!
