Details
Evoking the quaint refinement of Skye’s harbor town, surrounded by the rugged nature of the Scottish Highlands, this poncho features a stunning double Saxon braid flanked by plaits and ladders. The plaits along the sides of each panel provide an interesting and fuss-free edging, particularly at the neckline. The raw bottom edges of the panels are finished with an I-Cord bind off or cast on for a cleaner look. The poncho is worked flat in two separate panels that are sewn together to create a double triangle. The cable patterns and finishing techniques are rather simple, so this is a perfect project for learning basic cables as well as I-Cord finishing techniques.
This pattern includes three sizes: Child (up to a 30” chest), Adult Medium (32-44” chest), and Adult Large (46-58” chest).
The gauge is 20 stitches and 28 rows over 4” in stockinette stitch. Over the largest cable pattern, it is 28 stitches and 26 rows after blocking.
This pattern is recommended for intermediate knitters. You must be able to follow cable charts or written instructions, make basic cables, and work an I-Cord cast on and bind off.
