This poncho is so simple and quick to work up, you’ll be wearing it in no time!
The simple stitch pattern is easy to remember and creates a delightfully cozy garment that you'll reach for over and over again.Construction
Worked flat, then folded and seamed 1/2 - 3/4 of the way across to create the neck opening.
I think this is the easiest accessory to customize besides a scarf. Simply cast on more or less stitches than I did, and work more or less repeats of the pattern to get to desired length. Aim for a slight rectangle or a perfect square after folding.
Size of sample:
Approx 19" wide x 45" long (19" x 22.5" folded)
250 - 325g used (depending on yarn)
