"Stora Svanen", known as "The Large Swan" in English, was designed for Bohus Stickning by Karin Ivarsson in 1966 and was part of a series of similar designs, including Svanen.
The knitting kit for Stora Svanen was developed in 2011 from original charts and garments held in museum collections . The design is available as knitting kit for pullover and hat. In the Swan design as pullover with ballerina yoke and sleeves patterned at the bottom, and as gloves.
The garment is knitted on natural white base in an angora yarn spun from 50% hand-cut angora wool from our own angora rabbits and 50% New Zealand merino wool. The white angora wool in the yarn comes from our naturally white angora rabbits and is not bleached. The pattern yarns are hand-dyed by Pernille Silfverberg to match the original yarns. The yarn is spun in Denmark at Henrichsens Uldspinderi.
The kit contains enough yarn to knit a pullover in the largest size XL, which corresponds to the garment's measurement of 117 cm around the chest, and instructions to knit a recreation Design of the original Bohus Stickning design in sizes from 92 cm for 117 cm. The kit also includes a printed pattern chart with yarn samples for and 4 pattern yarns to use as reference. One of the pattern yarns in the yoke is a lambswool yarn spun from New Zealand lambswool with a small percentage of wool from Gotland fur sheep.
The jumper is worked from the top down in AngoraGarnets angora/merino yarn with a folded neck edge. The patterned yoke for design is worked with up to for three pattern yarns in one round with a knitting tension of 33 stitches/10 cm. Only knit and purl stitches are used. The jumper is worked in stockinette stitch on circular needles from the yoke down, then the front and back pieces are worked back and forth and then worked on circular needles from the sleeves down. Knitting needles are not included in the kit, but typically 2.0 mm-2.5 mm needles are needed to achieve the correct knitting tension.
Pattern yarns for this design are hand-dyed by Pernille to ensure they fully reproduce the original design.
