I Rock the Beach Pontini

Are you ready to elevate your knitting experience? Join me in celebrating the beauty of winter with the delightful Virginia Beach Yarn Getaway retreat, where I’ve had the pleasure of attending for the last two winters. The breathtaking winter beach landscape inspires every stitch and fills knitters with a sense of wonder and creativity. However, let's face it—winter in Virginia can be quite chilly and breezy! That's why having a cozy poncho like Pontini is essential for keeping your shoulders warm and stylish.

This enchanting poncho design features a colorful yoke that radiates charm, mimicking the intricate beauty of stranded colorwork. But fear not! Pontini is incredibly simple to knit, utilizing stripes along with stacking increases and decreases, making it a flawless project for hours of knitting bliss—whether at a retreat, snuggled up at home in your pajamas, or engaging with your local knitting group.

The gauge for this wonderful project is 20 stitches and 28 rounds per 4”/10cm (equivalent to 5 stitches and 7 rounds per 1”/2.5 cm) when worked in Stockinette Stitch. Enjoy the process of creating this stunning piece that not only provides warmth but also serves as an eye-catching addition to your wardrobe. Don’t miss the chance to craft your own Pontini poncho and embrace the winter beauty while knitting away your stress!
