Brodgar

This simple poncho features textured stitch patterns inspired by stone carvings found at the Ness of Brodgar Neolithic site in Orkney. A large rectangle is knit and then folded in half and partially seamed along one side, leaving an opening for the neck.

Textured sections are both written and charted.

No special skills are needed - it’s just knits and purls!
