Materials To create the Amy poncho, you will need 11 skeins of Erika Knight „Wild Wool“ in the beautiful shade of „wander“ (col #702), along with 2 skeins in the complementary color „meander“ (col #701), which boasts a yardage of 185 yds [170 m]/100 g. For knitting, you will require US size 8 [5 mm] circular needles that are 47" [120 cm] long, as well as US size 6 [4 mm] needles that are 24" [60 cm] long for added versatility.
Gauge Achieving the right gauge is essential for ensuring your poncho fits perfectly; aim for 18 stitches and 23 rows per 4" [10 x 10 cm] in stockinette stitch using the larger needles. This pattern not only offers warmth but also allows for creative experimentation with color and design, making it a fantastic addition to any knitter's repertoire.
