PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

To knit this swoncho, you need to know how to knit and purl, knit in the round, cast on using the tubular method, knit German short rows, make increases (the ones normally used for armholes), pick up and resume stitches, use the colorwork technique, and bind off using the Italian method. It is essential to be able 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 knit in the round. Next, the sleeves are picked up and knit in the round until the cuff. It is made in one piece, without any seams. It is knit in stockinette stitch in the round, with a colorwork motif on the yoke. The body and sleeves finish with a ribbed trim.
