PREREQUISITE SKILLS
To knit this swoncho, you need to know how to knit and purl, knit in the round, cast on stitches using the tubular method, knit German short rows, make increases (the ones normally used for armholes), pick up and resume stitches, colorwork technique and bind off stitches using the Italian method. It is essential to know how to read charts, as the instructions for knitting the colorwork motif of the yoke are given only in chart form.
CONSTRUCTION
This swoncho has a top-down construction, meaning it starts by knitting the neckline, continues with the yoke, then the sleeves and body are separated, and the body is continued to be knitted in the round. Next, the sleeves are picked up and knitted in the round to the cuff. It is made in one piece, without any seams. It is knitted in circular stockinette stitch, with a colorwork motif on the yoke. The body and sleeves finish with an elastic ribbing.
