SWAG Neck Warmer - Hand Knitting PDF Pattern

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.
