The poncho is knitted from the top down, first in the round creating a casual rolled neckline created with a organic cotton yarn. It grows at first knitted in the round and then continuously flat to create the slit. all done with a single Yarnology skein which is perfectly arranged to give you color, texture and even weight changes to create the stripes. The slit get embellished so it stands out with a bulky weight Chenille yarn. This is why the knit kit comes in handy, no shopping around for the different yarns~

The pattern is entirely written and an advanced beginner can handle this perfectly.

The blocked size measures 64” along the bottom edge, 17” in total length and 25” around the neckline.
