In an earlier post, I talked about how much I love chunky knitting and that I was playing around with size US 50 needles. I decided to mess around with them even more this week and finished another cowl.
Using Lion Brand Hometown USA in Chicago Gray, I cast on 16 and did a 2×2 rib through the end of the skein.
I’m also currently playing around with chunky knitting, but with smaller, size 15 needles. Here is one scarf (another one with 2×2 ribbing) that I am working on with Loops and Threads Facets Yarn:
With another pair of size 15 needles, I am playing around with different stitches and am making a linen stitch cowl with Loops and Threads Charisma in Mulberry Bush.
I am still trying to find a pattern that I love for bulkier yarns that I love. If anyone has any patterns or ideas that work really well for them, please send them my way.
Oh Gosh Yarn It 
Here is a pattern I designed for a bully weight cowl… http://knotions.com/issues/november-2016/pattern-november-2016/snuggly-loops-cowl-whitney-goldsberry/. If you wanted to go up in needle size I suggest knitting the length of the pieces of the cowl shorter. 😊

Whoa those ARE super chunky needles! That grey cowl reminds me of some of the chunkier Outlander inspired knits I’ve seen. Really like your linen stitch project 😀

Thank you! I go through cycles where I work with one stitch for a long time and right now that seems to be the linen stitch.
Also, I have yet to read (or watch) Outlander so I haven’t paid attention to the OUtlander inspired knits but now I will have to look them up.
