Swingy Accessories - free .pdf pattern download

Make your knitting SWING with a short-row knitting technique imported from Europe. Perfected by Heidrun Liegmann and popularized by Brigitte Elliott in the United States, Swing-Knitting™ is like knitting music. Using one color at a time to keep beat with a “melody,” you’ll knit defined areas called “stanzas.” This kind of knitting is simultaneously exciting and relaxing--it just swings! Once you master the technique, you can easily add the swing knitting effect to any project. Instructions are included for knitters who are familiar with using the short-row formula, or melody, and for knitters who are not. Simple, concise steps are written to enable any knitter to follow the pattern with ease.
