This was so super fun to make and was really impressive to show off when I was done, but I worry that the swoncho style is a little impractical for actually wearing. My recipient was in another state so if I make something in this style for myself I might bring up the sleeve separation. I made it in KP comfy for washability.
How difficult was this pattern? My friend has been pushing me to try it for ages and something like this makes me want to try so bad.
I think it's an excellent way to dive into color work, the charts are easy to follow and the designs are easy to see when knitting, and are repetitive enough that you can get a good groove going.
