Ninilchik Swoncho
Kits available through The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers- watch her shop for updates!
Inspired by a desire to design a modern, unexpected take on a classic Lopapeysa, the Ninilchik Swoncho is my personal dream come true of style meets cozy comfort…
The shift between seasons can bring some unexpected weather, and layers are an essential part of staying comfortable as the temperature dips and lifts. This swoncho is as comfy as being wrapped in a blanket, but is more functional thanks to its clever construction and sleeves. Craggy Tweed DK from The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers comes in the perfect palette for fun colorwork options, or you can grab a kit for ready-made fun! This cozy piece will surely be a go-to knit in your closet - you may find yourself reaching for it year-round! Coming in just 2 sizes that fit a wide range of bodies, you may even have to make a few to compensate for the family members who swipe one from under your nose!
