Dirty Chai

### Dirty Chai Poncho Knitting Pattern Introducing the *Dirty Chai*, a stylish and versatile long tunic-length poncho perfect for layering. Ideal for knitters at any skill level, this cozy garment is designed to provide warmth and comfort while also making a fashion statement. The model, who is 5’ 6”, showcases the poncho's beautiful drape—achieved by working 11 total length repeats for the size Medium, resulting in an almost knee-length finish. One of the distinctive features of the *Dirty Chai* is the decorative buttons on the sides, which are non-functional, allowing for a streamlined look. However, if you’d like to add a touch of personalization, instructions for creating reinforced buttonholes are included in the stitch guide. For an adorable touch, we recommend placing the first buttonhole after the third 16-row repeat of the front. If you plan to customize the length by subtracting repeats for a shorter garment, position the buttonhole after the second repeat instead. This poncho is crafted using yarn that is available in 250-gram skeins. To help you better plan your project, here's a breakdown of the approximate grams required for each size (assuming you work the same number of repeats as stated in the pattern): 685 (Small), 748 (Medium), 815 (Large), 930 (XLarge), 984 (XXLarge), and 1,040 (3XL). Be aware that the Medium size, requiring approximately 748 grams or 1,406 yards, comes very close to needing an additional skein. Keeping this in mind will help ensure you have enough yarn on hand to complete your stunning poncho. Knit your very own *Dirty Chai* poncho today and enjoy a fashionable yet comfy addition to your wardrobe! Whether you’re running errands or cozying up at home, this poncho is the perfect choice for every occasion. Happy knitting!
