🧶 What Is a Swoncho, Anyway?

A swoncho is the perfect blend of a sweater and a poncho. It gives you the cozy vibe of a poncho but with actual sleeves, so it stays put and fits beautifully. And thanks to the Spectrum Stitch pattern, you'll get to play with mosaic crochet colorwork, too!

This swoncho is worked from the top down in rounds, using DK weight yarn—we used Swish DK superwash merino, which gives you that soft, drapey feel you want in a garment.
