SUMMARY

The Henny Penny Chicken Sweater is a unisex, top-down sweater available in ten different adult sizes. It offers cropped and regular body length options, as well as several neck styles: double neck, turtleneck, mock turtleneck, and crew neck.

This sweater is knitted in one piece, top-down, using the magic loop method with increases on the yoke. Short rows are worked at the top of the yoke to raise the back neck for a better fit.

The sweater is knit with only two colors at a time, making it easier to knit. Additional colors can be added later using the duplicate stitch technique.

This sweater is designed to be worn with approximately 10-22in/ 25-55 cm of positive ease; however, this is just a guide. Some people prefer a closer fit; do not be afraid to select an option that provides somewhat less than the suggested ease according to your own preferences.
