The weather is getting colder and colder so it is time for warm and cozy knits. Please welcome my new super cozy knitted design - Temptation Poncho and Hat set. I knitted this set for my little daughter to keep her warm and stylish this winter season.
Temptation set is one of my favorite knitted garments that I made for Sophie. She loves it so much. She has received many compliments and smiles from people around to her new outfit.
I really love this beautiful cable pattern with bobbles in the center. I made a large thick pompom to decorate the hat.
This set is knitted with Cascade Ecological wool and size 9 (5.5 mm) knitting needles. Poncho is knitted back and forth and the hat is knitted in the round.
I wrote a knitting pattern for this set for the following sizes: 2–3 years; 4-5 years; 6-7 years; 8-9 years; 10-12 years. It was test knitted on Ravelry. Thank you so much ladies for your help and feedback :)

More explicit directions needed...knit on straight needles then insert sleeves followed by knitting in the round on circular nerves??????
ReplyDeleteHi Ellen. Front, back and sleeves of the poncho are knitted back and forth on straight needles, then neck is knitted on circular needles in the round. Please let me know if you need my further help. Kind regards.
DeleteHi. I am wanting to knit your poncho but have a couple questions…. IT says that the first 8 rows are worked in short rows. Is that the very first knit 7 rows after casting on if i'm knitting the largest size or is that only after the knit 7 that I start the short rows?
ReplyDeleteHi Dana, Thank you for getting in touch. Please knit 7 rows first and then start working in short rows technique as explained in the pattern.
Deleteok thank you!! How come then only rows 1-6 say to wrap next stitch and turn? but prior says first 8 rows worked in short? I'm a fairly new knitter so still figuring things out...
ReplyDeleteBecause the row 7 starts in the middle of the knitting row from RS so it is a short row. The row 8 is a WS row which matches the previous row. Then from the row 9 you need to continue knitting normally.
ReplyDeleteIf you have more questions please sent me a message to email which stated in the pattern so I can reply to you quicker.
How many skeins of cascade ecological for 2-3 size?
ReplyDeleteI used 2 x 250gr skeins for 2-3 years size.
Deletehola necesito este patron , gracias
ReplyDeleteHola puedo saber por donde se comienza la labor si por el cuello o por abajo si puedes me explicas lo de las primeras 8 carreras
ReplyDeleteI'm having problems from the very beginning, the stich count the number of markers the pattern says is needed?
ReplyDeletePlease place 10 stitch markers to indicate the position of cables as explained in the pattern. If you have more questions, please contact me via email which is shown in the pattern.
ReplyDeleteHello I am having a problem finishing on the circular needles. I am knitting size 2-3 and cannot see how to proceed once I have initially decreased 2 stitches leaving 106 stitches as knitting k2,p3 rows do not produce the rib I expected
ReplyDeleteHello
DeleteI’m sorry for the confusion. But looks like it is a typo in the brackets. You need to work this row as stated in the pattern: * k34, k2tog, repeat from * across the round to end. You need to decrease 3 stitches. So the quantity of stitches would be multiple by 5 and you can continue ribbing as k2, p3.
Hi just got my pattern thank you, l am an intermediate knitter but lm having problems getting started. Not knit in short rows before please can you explaineed how to get started. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteThank you for getting in touch.
Please follow the steps below:
1. Cast on the required number of stitches for your size;
2. Knit 5 (5; 6; 6; 7) rows for the border;
3. Place 10 stitch markers as explained in the pattern. Do not work or slip any stitches at this stage;
4. Start working row-by row instructions from Row 1 very carefully as written. Also please see the section “SHORT ROWS (WRAP AND TURN)”. Rows 1 to 8 are short rows, so you don’t need to work all stitches in these rows.
Please contact me via email shown in the pattern for further assistance.
Happy knitting!
Tanya
Just finished this poncho in smallest size for my granddaughter, loved knitting it now for the pom pom hats. Then l will do a different style poncho for my other granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your feedback. I really appreciate it :)
DeletePlease explain better the short rows. I have read the replies above and the pattern several times and still cannot figure out where to turn the knitting i.e. - what number of stitches are included in the short row and where do they start. Thank you. I am very frustrated with the poor instructions regarding this. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDear Chill,
DeleteThank you for getting in touch.
The pattern has very detailed row-by-row instructions and photo-tutorial for short rows. It looks a bit complicated when you reading it. But you shouldn’t have any problems as soon as you start knitting and following it very carefully.
Please follow the steps below:
1. Cast on the required number of stitches for your size;
2. Knit 5 (5; 6; 6; 7) rows for the border;
3. Place 10 stitch markers as explained in the pattern. Do not work or slip any stitches at this stage;
4. Next 8 rows are short rows. Please start working row-by row instructions from Row 1 very carefully as written and turn your knitting for the next row when pattern asks for it (end of Row1, row 2 and etc).
For example, work Row 1 up to wrap stitch, wrap it and slip it back to left hand needle (this stitch is not included into next row, but it should be wrapped with the working yarn in order to prevent large holes). Turn you knitting for next row. Follow the instruction for the next row the same way.
Also please see the section “SHORT ROWS (WRAP AND TURN)”.
Please contact me via email shown in the pattern for further assistance.
Happy knitting!
Tanya
Thank you Tanya! I am refreshed this morning and ready to give it another try. I hope to figure this out as you have other sweet items that I would love to tackle for my grand-daughter. Take care
ReplyDeleteWhere did my comments and your reply go?
ReplyDeleteAll comments are in different post. Please see the post "Big Temptation poncho" for adults
DeleteI started knitting this and I am really confused about the short row 1-8 , if you don't work all the stitches in each row , what happens to the un-worked stitches
ReplyDeleteHello Brenda,
DeleteThank you for getting in touch.
You need to ignore the stitches not worked in rows 1 to 8. Please just knit the row as written in the pattern and turn your knitting for the next row when pattern asks to do so. You will work these stitches later step by step in every row. Please just follow the instruction very carefully.
Please let me know if you need my further assistance.
Warm wishes,
Tanya
Hi Tanya, I just started to knit this cute poncho for my granddaughter and I'm wondering why after Row 11 that Row 12 and every other row is missing in the instructions. I've read the instructions over and over again and I don't see any mention of those rows. Please help.......
ReplyDeleteHi Marie, Thank you for getting in touch. Please see the row 10 for explanations. If you need more help please contact me via email shown in the pattern or via blogger contact form.
DeleteHappy knitting,
Tanya

ReplyDeleteI am knitting the size 12 and on row 101 it says 2/3 RC, p3, 2/3 LC that is not in the stitch glossary. is it 2 stitches held to the back or 3 in the 2/3 RC?
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra, Thank you so much for getting in touch.
DeletePlease work those sts as follows:
2/3 RC - Slip next 3 stitches to cable needle and place at back of work, k2, then k3 from cable needle.
2/3 LC - Slip next 2 stitches to cable needle and place at front of work, k3, then k2 from cable needle.

ReplyDeleteI am a beginner knitter. On row 10 it said for every even row from now on should ne worked in the same manner that it presents. Please advise what that means ?
ReplyDelete"worked in the same manner that it presents" means work in pattern knit over knit stitch and purl over purl stitch.
ReplyDeleteIf you have more questions please contact me via email shown in the patterns.
Need clarification, knitted for 5 rows, placed my 10 markers, do the last 3 stitches get passed or do I leave them there?
ReplyDeleteI have the same question as Lise Anne
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to pass any stitches from needle to needle. You need to count stitches and place lockable stitch markers to indicate the position of cables.
DeleteI have followed the pattern as instructed am on the first row which I have completed to the instruction wrap next st, turn But I still have 34 stitches on my left needle. Do I turn here?
ReplyDeleteYes, you need to turn for the next row straight after the wrapped stitch. You've been working on short rows.
DeleteBonjour pourriez vous envoyer les explications de ce joli poncho merci
ReplyDeleteBonjour, Le patron de tricot pour ce poncho est disponible en anglais et en français chez Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/temptation-poncho-and-hat-set
DeleteHello, Knitting pattern for this poncho is available in English and French from Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/temptation-poncho-and-hat-set
Bonjour
ReplyDeleteAvez vous les mensurations pour taille 5/7 ans ma laine ne donne pas même échantillon que vous merci
Dear Jocelyne, Thank you for your question. The measurements for poncho for size 6-7 years as follows:
Delete• Chest (actual measurements for poncho): 71 cm / 28 inches
• Length to shoulder: 37 cm / 14½ inches
Since this poncho is oversized garment with plenty of positive ease, the small difference in gauge should not cause a big problem with the fit.
If your gauge differs a lot from the recommended, you can try to adjust the knitting needles size in order to get the correct gauge.
