Orange Chunky Knit Funnel Neck Batwing Sleeve Sweater
A jumper knitted in a chunky gauge with a high funnel neck, dropped shoulders falling into full batwing sleeves, and ribbing at the cuffs and the hem.
A chunky gauge eats yarn, so a colour runs out quickly.
A funnel neck out in a cold field
Bonfire night is a field, a long wait in the dark and then everybody turning their faces up at the same moment. A high funnel neck stands on its own right up to the chin, so the whole of the neck is covered without a scarf being wound round it, and a chunky gauge reads as texture even by firelight.
The shape is what carries at a distance. The shoulder drops and runs straight out into a batwing sleeve, so the arm and the body make one wide line that moves when you move rather than hanging still. Back at the car somebody says the jumper looked good from the far side of the field, which is further than a knit usually gets.
A wide sleeve and a high neck read from a long way off.
Chunky gauge into a batwing sleeve
The jumper is knitted in a chunky gauge, heavy enough to hold its own shape, and the neck is a high funnel, standing up rather than folding over at the top. The shoulders are dropped.
From the dropped shoulder the sleeve runs out full as a batwing, wide the whole way along to the cuff, and the ribbing at the cuff and the hem is what draws that fullness back in. The hand going into the sleeve finds the gauge thick from end to end.

A chunky gauge eats the yarn
A chunky gauge takes far more yarn per jumper than a fine one, so a colour empties the run quicker than it looks as though it should. It is made for autumn and winter, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Take the colour while the nine are still up. Fourteen days from delivery is enough to try it on at home and send it back unworn and in its original condition.
