By Caitlin Hunter (Boyland Knitworks)
Inspired by a desire to design a modern, unexpected take on a classic Lopapeysa, the Ninilchik Swoncho is my personal dream come true of style meets cozy comfort…
This swoncho is as comfy as being wrapped in a blanket, but is more functional thanks to its clever construction and sleeves. This cozy piece will surely be a go-to knit in your closet – you may find yourself reaching for it year-round! Coming in just 2 sizes that fit a wide range of bodies.
