I wanted a quick gift knit and these are definitely super speedy. I chose straight needles so that the star motif could be worked in intarsia rather than the extra bulk of stranded colourwork in a chunky yarn. The smaller than recommended needles make it a dense, cosy fabric.
I used 100g of Deramores Studio chunky in red and just a few metres of white.
The pattern has a chart for the star motif.
