Swinton – Project Kit
Swinton – Project Kit
Swinton is a lightweight, short-sleeved Dolman top with a flattering fit and simple and elegant details—adding fun to knitting and wearing—and we know it will quickly become a favorite sweater.
We are delighted to introduce this pattern with our yarn, Studio Blend No. 2, a beautifully crafted wool with a hint of cashmere. The yardage estimate for each kit factors in enough yarn for the garment in the selected size, plus 10% for a 6- to 8-inch swatch and knitter tension variance. Each Swinton Project Kit includes a digital pattern, delivered by email at the time of shipping.
See additional pattern information shown below the photographs for sizing. The colors shown left to right (bottom to top in the composite photo) are as follows: Pearl, Fog, Sky, Butterscotch, Henna, and Shadow.
