Isn't this yarn just gorgeous!
I'm completely obsessed with this neon colour and I had to
make the chunkiest of all chunky sweaters with it.
It's guaranteed to make any project super fast.
Super bulky and available in so many colours,
at 100% wool it will soon become your new fav!

This will be the fastest sweater you'll ever make.
You can make it ANY length and ANY size you want!
Notes before you begin:
-the initial chain will determine how wide your front/back panels will be. Hold it up against you to get the perfect width before you begin the body of the sweater.
-To alter the length of the sweater, add more rows
-you can use any Super Bulky yarn you choose, just check your gauge.
-this sweater is made up of 4 separate panels: front panel, back panel, and 2 sleeves.
-the panels/sleeves are all worked in the same stitch: Extended Single Crochet in the Back Loop Only.
