Cut the swiss cheese into 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch cubes (if using a block of swiss cheese)
Cut the slices of ham lengthwise into 1 inch - 1 1/2 inch thick strips
Chop the pickles into thirds
Assemble the skewers by adding the pickle, followed by the ham, then the cheese at the bottom. When skewering the ham, fold it back and forth directly down the middle of it as if folding a fan in order to achieve the same look as in my pictures.
