What is a Swoncho?

A Swoncho is a combination of a sweater and a poncho. Thanks to the cuffs, it stays in place, and the wrists are always kept cozy, eliminating cold hands. A Swoncho is ideal for the transitional season from autumn to winter or from winter to spring when it is too warm outside to wear a jacket.

I named this beautiful Swoncho ‘’Nessa’’, because in J.R.R. Tolkiens world of Middle-earth, Nessa Tári-Laisi is the ‘’Queen of the spring’’. She is also named Acairis ‘’the bride’’, Indis ‘’good soul’’, Helinyetille ‘’eyes of soul peace’’ or Melesta ‘’the lovely one’’. Nessa enjoys dancing over the green meadows of Valinor. Her season is spring.

Needed materials:

• approx. 400 grams of “Lippenbekenntnis” Best of from Schoppel (yardage 420m (459 yds) / 100 gr (3.5 oz) or similiar yarn with a comparable yardage
• circular needle size  3.5 – 4.5 (US 4 – 6) (I recommend an interchangeable system)
• 9 stitch markers (8 for the raglan stitches and one to mark the start of the row)
• sewing needle for weaving in ends
• measuring tape
• a piece of waste yarn for the provisional cast-on
• crochet hook for the provisional cast-on
• if necessary, double point needles in size 3.5 – 4.5 (US 4 – 6)

I designed the swoncho for german dress size 40 – 44 (UK 14 – 18, US 12 – 16), but it is adjustable to any size you want. You just have to measure your neck circumference, your arm length and the width of your wrist.
