The knitting kit for Svanen was developed in 2011 from original charts and garments held in museum collections The design is only available as knitting kit for pullover with a slightly shorter yoke and patterned sleeves at the bottom.
The garment is knitted on aubergine 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 Uuldspinderi.
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 card with yarn samples for and 5 pattern yarns to use as reference.
The jumper is worked from the bottom up with a slightly shorter yoke according to "Nya Rundstickningen" in AngoraGarnets angora/merino yarn with a knitting tension of 33 stitches/10 cm. The patterned yoke and sleeves for design are worked with up to for three pattern yarns in one round. Only knit and purl stitches are used. for The jumper is worked front and back in stockinette stitch back and forth and seamed. The sleeves are worked in raglan and when the pattern of the yoke begins, the sleeves are worked in the round and the yoke is worked in the round. 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 reproduce the original design.
