This swancho is where retro crochet meets modern crafting!
The granny stitch neckline, with a nod to stranded yokes of
yore, is the perfect complement to this contemporary
silhouette- somewhere between a sweater and a poncho.
With its roomy fit- this cozy layer will accommodate a
growing kid – or an expectant mom.

A folded-double ribbing is worked in turned rows and
slip-stitched to form a circular neck opening. The main body
is worked in a granny stitch pattern, from the ribbing
downward in joined rounds, increasing every few rounds to
create a cone shape. Body is divided for arms and continued
to bottom edge without increases. Arms are made separately
in turned rows, seamed and then stitched in armhole
openings. Body will need to be steam blocked before Hemline
Ribbing is made. Hemline ribbing is made separately in turned
rows and stitched to bottom of swancho.

Sleeves can be altered in length by adding (or subtracting)
a number of chains from the original foundation chain.
