"Svanen Blue", known as "The Blue Swan" in English, was designed for Bohus Stickning by Karin Ivarsson in 1966.
The knitting kit for Svanen was developed in 2011 from original charts and garments held in museum collections . This recreation of the original version in blue was completed in 2021. The knitting kit for Svanen Blå was developed. The design is available as knitting kit for pullover /cardigan with a round yoke and as hat.
The garment is knitted on light blue base in an angora yarn spun from 50% hand-cut angora wool from our own angora rabbits and 50% New Zealand merino wool. The pattern yarns are hand-dyed by Pernille Silfverberg to match the original yarns. The yarn is spun in Denmark at Henrichsens Uldspinderi.
The knitting kit contains enough yarn to knit a pullover or cardigan in the largest size XL, which corresponds to the garment's measurement of 117 cm around the chest, and instructions to knit a recreation of the original Bohus Stickning design in sizes from 92 cm for 117 cm. Instructions are for available for both the elastic neckline and the folded neckline. The kit also includes a printed pattern chart with yarn samples for and 5 pattern yarns to use as reference.
The garment is worked from the top down in AngoraGarnets angora/merino yarn. The patterned yoke for design is worked with only two pattern yarns in one round with a knitting tension of 33 stitches/10 cm. Only knit and purl stitches are used. The cardigan is worked back and forth while the front edge for buttons are worked side by side. The jumper is worked in the round on circular needles, then the front and back pieces are worked in stockinette stitch back and forth and seamed to mimic its original construction. Knitting needles are not included in the knitting 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.
The buttons on the original garment were mother-of-pearl buttons 12 mm in diameter with two holes and a small notch between them. Buttons are not included in the knitting kit.
Light blue base color code 134. Pattern yarns color codes 311, 259, 260, 111, 330, 329.
