Techniques

Here are some of the knitting skills you need to know before getting started:

You need to be familiar with the knit stitch and purl stitch. The faux fur makes it a little difficult to tell which stitch you’re working.

Knit Flat (Back & Forth)
Knit & Purl Stitches
Clean Edge (optional)

Yarn & Substitutions

I’ve used several faux fur yarns and Go For Faux is the chunkiest. Different colors are a little different too. I feel like Chinchilla is a little thicker than Baked Alaska, but maybe that was the particular batches that I received.

Yarn Weight: Super Bulky
Yardage: 260 – 780 yards (235 – 715 meters)
Suggested Yarn: Lion Brand Go For Faux, Chinchilla

Needles & Notions

Needle Size: US 19 (15 mm) Circular Needles with a 24″ (60cm) Cable, or longer

The large needles are perfect for this yarn, giving the fabric a beautiful drape. Perfect for a winter wedding!

This ponchos is knit flat, back & forth on circular needles. The long cable is used to accommodate the large number of super bulky cast-on stitches. However, if you’re knitting a child size, you could probably use straight needles.

Notes

Reversible because of the faux fur yarn, the fur hides the stitches, if you’re using any other yarn, it’s not reversible.

The CO edge is the height, height measures from the shoulder to the waist.

Knit using the stockinette stitch.

Knit flat, back & forth on circular needles, which are used to accommodate the large number of CO stitches.

Knit flat, like a blanket, then fold in half and seamed to create poncho.

The poncho you didn’t even know you needed.

Beginner Pattern Instructions

CO the number of STS from the “Size” section above.

Row 1 (WS): *P* (purl all stitches)
Row 2 (RS): *K* (knit all stitches)
Repeat rows 1-2 until recommended or desired length.

BO loosely.
Weave in the ends.
No blocking necessary.

Sew Seam to Create Poncho:
Fold it in half bringing the CO & BO edges together (do not sew this edge). Starting at the top outside edge, whip stitch the front and back together, leaving enough of a gap for your head to fit through. You can leave the opening a little larger if you’d like to show a little shoulder. ;)

Print this Pattern

I know many of you enjoy working from a paper copy of your knitting pattern that’s why I offer a printer-friendly PDF completely ad-free on Etsy, Raverly or LoveCrafts.

That way you can have lifetime access to it and download it to any device and view it from anywhere, without ads (and the pattern might not be around forever).

The ads on this website make it possible for me to offer the patterns for free, that way you can try it before you buy it. 🙃

Happy Knitting!

Modification Options

If you find yourself frustrated with the stockinette stitches, you can try using the garter stitch pattern and knit all the rows. However, if you do this, you’ll want to get about 1/3rd more yarn than the size recommends. For example, if your size recommends 6 skeins, get 8 and if you’re me, you’ll get 9, just to be safe. :)

You can add some buttons instead of seaming it or you can add faux buttons to the edge after you seamed it.
