Gillah
Introducing Devorgilla’s exquisite cable design, featured in this beautiful swoncho that combines style and comfort. The stunning cable adorns the front, while garter stitches accentuate the center sleeves and collar, creating a visually appealing texture. This unique piece is expertly knitted in separate pieces with functional vents on each side, along with shoulder shaping that enhances its fit. Crafted from the luxurious Tinde Pelsull yarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, the swoncho showcases quality and coziness. The collar finishes off elegantly with an I-cord bind-off, perfectly framing the playful center cable that draws attention.
Intended ease: This stunning swoncho is designed with a generous ease of +40-56 cm, ensuring a relaxed yet flattering fit. The sample displayed is 92 cm, styled with an impressive +56 cm/22” ease on the model, making it an ideal choice for layering over your favorite outfits.
Yarn Details: For this pattern, we recommend using Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk's Tinde Pelsull, which is 100% pelt wool with a stunning meterage of 260 m/284 yds per 100 g skein. The sample is beautifully knitted in the shade Grey Purple 2111, requiring 7 (7, 8) skeins, and producing a total of 1596 (1752, 1908) m/1745 (1916, 2086) yds, perfect for creating a cozy yet stylish piece that stands out.
Gauge: Achieve the desired fit with a gauge of 21 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch, with measurements taken after blocking to yield a perfect 10 cm/4” square. This precision ensures that your finished garment will be just right.
Notes: The construction of the swoncho is done back and forth in separate pieces, which are later seamed together for a polished finish. It's important to note that the Back and Front pieces are identical, simplifying the knitting process while allowing for creativity in your color choices. This pattern is a delightful tribute to Dorota Kowalczyk, with the name Gillah meaning ‘joy’ in Hebrew—a fitting name for such a joyful and beautifully crafted piece.
