"Svanen", known in English as "The Swan", 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. The design is available in several iterations. This kit if for a pullover with a short yoke and patterned cuffs on the sleeves. The design is also available as a hat or gloves. Karin Ivarsson designed several similar designs, including Large Svanen and Svanen's in different colours, Purple (which also features patterned cuffs), Blue, Red and Green.
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 card with yarn samples for and 3 pattern yarns to use as reference.
The garment is worked from the bottom up with a slightly shorter yoke according to "New circular knitting" in Bohus Angora Merino yarn. The patterned yoke for the design is worked with only two pattern yarns in each row at a gauge of 33 stitches/10cm. Only knit and purl stitches are used. The pullover is knit in pieces from the bottom up with raglan decreases from the armhole. The raglan seams are sewn and the pieces are joined to complete the yoke pattern in the round. This seamed construction matches the original constructions for the design. Knitting needles are not included in the kit, however typically a needle size of 2mm-2.5mm will be required to achieve the correct gauge. Please note this design is only available as a pullover. Instructions for a cardigan are not provided.
