I’m currently obsessed with the chunky knit yarn all over Pinterest and the internet. While a chunky knit blanket is the most popular, you can also find beginner knitting patterns for scarves, poufs, cat beds, pillows and so much more! Easy arm knitting patterns are the best way to start learning arm knitting, and working with chunky yarn is even better!
My daughter,Madi, and I are super excited to start our jumbo knitting projects after Christmas. Making a chunky knit blanket is first on our list, but I scoured the internet for other free chunky knitting patterns so you don’t have to! I honestly would really love to make a pouf for my living room.
