Banks skoncho

BANKS is a versatile and stylish knitted accessory that can be worn as both a chic skirt and a cozy poncho. This unique garment is designed with ease of wear in mind, featuring a beautiful knitted pattern created in the round with four eye-catching color changes. The design includes a touch of easy stranded knitting, giving it an artistic flair. The skirt/poncho showcases a slightly ruffled bottom edge for added character and includes an adjustable I-cord topped with large round disk beads, allowing you to customize the fit perfectly.

For HIP sizes, please measure around the widest part of your hips in inches: 32”, (33/34, 35/36, 37/38), (39/40, 41/42, 43/44), (45/46, 47/48). This pattern features a recommended 0.5-1.5” positive ease, and the sample shown is in size 35/36 with 0.5” of ease. The finished length of the BANKS is approximately 19”, making it a trendy addition to any wardrobe.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 12 stitches and 17 rows in 2” of Stockinette stitch using a smaller needle knitted flat. Important Note: I am a loose knitter, which means your results may vary, so it is imperative to knit a gauge swatch. Some test knitters found that using a size 4 needle helped them achieve the correct gauge for a proper fit.

This pattern calls for fingering weight bamboo yarn, which provides softness and drape that enhances the overall design. The color requirements are as follows:

• C1 - Onyx: 680 yards (725/760/810) (855/900/935) (980/1020)
