Donia
Introducing the exquisite Donia Poncho, a stylish and versatile addition to your wardrobe. This elegant poncho features beautiful round knot cables that adorn both the bottom and top, adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit. With its high collar design, the Donia Poncho exudes a noble look, inspired by the Celtic meaning of its name, which translates to "rules all." Perfect for transitional weather, this poncho seamlessly combines comfort and style.
The design incorporates a unique construction technique where the upper part is skillfully picked up and knitted from the lower cable panel. The body is worked in stockinette stitch, ensuring a smooth and polished finish while providing shaping for the shoulders. The standout short sleeves, knitted in ribbed pattern, help hold the poncho together, allowing for a flattering fit that can be worn with a belt or a decorative shawl pin for a chic front gathering, or let it flow loosely for a more relaxed look.
Finished measurements: Bust: 194 cm, Length: 74.5 cm, Sleeve length: 32 cm. Whether dressing up for a special occasion or simply enjoying a casual day out, this poncho is designed to impress.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 21 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch after blocking, measuring a perfect 10 cm square. Accurate gauge is essential for ensuring your Donia Poncho turns out just right, so be sure to check yours before starting.
Notes: The body of this poncho is thoughtfully knitted in four distinct parts, featuring intricate cables on the bottom panel and smooth stockinette on the upper section. The ribbed sleeves are constructed in the round for added comfort. For the sophisticated collar, we recommend using a provisional cast-on technique, allowing you to effortlessly graft the ends together for a seamless finish. Due to the large number of stitches, a circular needle is essential to create this stunning poncho.
