SWAG Neck Warmer

Constructed bottom up with fit and flared shaping.

Fantastic for variegated yarns.

Gives the appearance of folded or swagged pleats winding around.

There are a lot of purl stitches. Not everyone’s favorite, I know, so I mention it.

Skills: Work in the round, k, p, p2tog, p3tog, pyop increase.
Though general skills are basic, there is a lot going on at once making this more concentration heavy.
I’d say Established Intermediate Level knitters will be most comfortable.

Chart reading skills are recommended but written line-by-line (abbreviated) instructions are included.

Blocking is not required - Dry cleaning recommended.

GAUGE

Gauge is not critical, but will affect size and yarn requirements.

Unblocked Stockinette – For yarn/needle selection
17 sts by 27 rounds = 4” (10 cm) Square

This gauge provided for yarn and needle pairing, to get an appropriate fabric density without needing to swatch the full repeat in the round.
