Oversized sweater with Chequers

2 threads blazing red, 2 threads deep black or one of each – that's the easy-to-knit concept for this high-contrast Chequers pattern which gets frequently used even by designers like Victoria Beckham, Gucci or Dior. 

The CUMBA wool by ggh is a soft yarn mix made from 42% pure new wool, 28% alpaca and 30% polyamide and combines comfortable volume with softness and an even stitch pattern. He wide-ranging color chart includes clear colors like the rusty-red used in contrast with the black as well as natural colors, pastel nuances and light, fresh tones. The Oversize-Model is worked with double thread – calling for a voluminous yarn that always stays in place and doesn't become stretched as well as being light. The comfortable oversize cut of the sweater puts the Chequers pattern perfectly on display.
