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.

Materials:

  • Any Aran/Worsted/DK Weight yarn to achieve recommended gauge
  • US 7 (4.5mm) circular needles or other to achieve gauge.
  • US 6 (4mm) circular needles for the rib
  • Needle

Gauge Blocked (4in x 4in / 10cm)
18 sts and 24 rnds = 10 cm / 4” after blocking with main gauge needles

Sizes

XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, 3X, 4X, 5X, 6X

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.
