German short rows used around neck shaping in order to make the comfortable fit around neck and face. Double neckband hides neck edge for neat result and professional look.

The hood can be worn both wrong and right sides outside due to its construction and finishing.

Ramble Poncho

Happy Knitting and Happy New Year! It is time to share my latest design for 2019 – Ramble Poncho. I made this super warm and super comfortable poncho for my older daughter. Knitted with super bulky yarn, the Ramble Poncho is designed to keep you away from the wind and cold this winter season. It has a comfortable hood for extra warmth and front pocket for hands.

Front and back of poncho are knitted separately back and forth. After shoulder seams are sewn the stitches are picked up for the hood. For the better fit of hood there are couple of rows are knitted in the round for the short collar. Then the hood is knitted back and forth. The hood band is also knitted in the round. The poncho is designed with positive ease of 20-25 cm/8-10 inches. The measurements of the poncho are given including shoulders.

I used The Wool yarn from We Are Knitters and 12 mm knitting needles. The knitting pattern is easy to follow and suitable for intermediate knitters. It is written for all sizes from toddler through adult L/XL.
