Pre-order the book at Laine stockists worldwide.

A simple, cozy garment to wear on days
you just want to stay home, sip a cup of
tea and watch the world through your
window. Or dress it up with a statement
necklace and your favorite pair of jeans if
you just have to leave home. Versatility
and simplicity, hand in hand.

Swoncho Cape is worked from the top down, both flat
and in the round, seamlessly in stockinette stitch.
The back yoke is worked first, followed by each side
of the front yoke before connecting into one piece.
Once the underarm is reached, the front and back
join together for some stockinette in the round
and a garter stitch hem. A simple collar and sleeves
are worked in half-twisted rib stitch, to finish the
project.
