Golden Leaf Poncho

Discover the charm of our stylish rectangular poncho, expertly knitted in one piece and featuring exquisite lace panels on both the front and back. This versatile poncho is designed to be warm and fashionable, making it a must-have addition to your wardrobe. The construction begins at the bottom, and the top edge is skillfully joined with a three-needle bind-off technique, leaving a perfect opening for your head. Crafted with care, this poncho uses the luxurious West Yorkshire Spinners Illustrious DK yarn in the stunning Shade (07) Antique Gold. You'll need 4 (4, 5, 5, 6) balls, with each ball containing 225 meters of beautifully blended fiber—70% Falkland Wool and 30% British Alpaca—for a cozy, soft finish. The pattern employs a gauge of 22 stitches and 33 rows to achieve a 10 x 10 cm square, measured over stockinette stitch. To knit this stylish poncho, you'll require a 4 mm circular needle, 80 cm in length, to help create those lovely drapes and lace details. This delightful knitting pattern was initially published in Issue 121 of KnitNow magazine and is now available as a standalone pattern for your knitting enjoyment. Perfect for both seasoned knitters and beginners looking to enhance their skills, this poncho will not only keep you warm but also elevate your fashion game. Get ready to impress everyone with your handmade masterpiece!
