Lots of stockinette stitch and a pretty cable in the center – this warm sweater with a generous turtleneck uses knitting techniques in a well-balanced and striking way. The color is great, the thick ggh Husky wicking yarn is soft and cozy, the style is cool, the look is terrific – dare to take it on! A truly worthwhile project awaits you! This warm sweater for cooler days is constructed in such a way that it balances challenge with relaxed knitting: The back is simply worked in stockinette stitch – perfect for a knitting cinema event, for example. The decorative cable sits in the center of the front – no rocket science if you follow the included chart exactly. It continues with the stockinette stitch sleeves. Then all the pieces are placed on a long needle and rolled up – the final stretch! Knit on the turtleneck one knit, one purl, close the seams, and enjoy your new favorite sweater!

The HUSKY yarn from ggh is a very thick, soft wicking yarn made of 50% virgin wool and 50% polyacrylic, which makes for quick success with thick needles. Knitted in stockinette stitch with 9.0 mm needles, the yarn produces 10 stitches in width and 14 rows in height, measuring 10 x 10 cm – allowing your knitted piece to grow to the desired size. The voluminous yarn beautifully accentuates the striking cable, while the stockinette stitch also creates a beautifully crisp stitch pattern: a chunky knit look at its finest. The XXL yarn is available in 35 attractive colors, allowing you to perfectly match this casual chunky knit sweater to your winter wardrobe.
