A Churchmouse Yarns and Teas Pattern - Chunky Seamless Poncho (PDF)

Step up the cuddle! This ultra cozy poncho shares the just-right scale of our ‘Easy Folded Poncho’ and the clever seamless construction of our ‘Two-Point Cowl’. The full-width end is a perfect canvas for playing with stitch patterns and colorwork charts. Plump ribbing details add a relaxed, sporty vibe. Choose a soft chunky yarn that’s lofty, cuddly, and pretty. To achieve 24”/62 cm of length, we knit 120 rows. However, one of our knitters only needed 100 rows at her personal row gauge -- this does matter!
