It is expertly crafted using the bouncy and lustrous Sølje Pelsull yarn, ensuring both warmth and visual appeal.

Notes: This poncho is beautifully knitted in two separate parts; the body is constructed back and forth, while the sleeves are knitted in the round using a ribbing technique. Each side of the body showcases a charming garter stitch band for added texture. If you are using a smooth yarn, refer to the additional notes under the Iglu cable section for guidance. Remember, the Iglu poncho utilizes a loose gauge, and the airy, hairy texture of the yarn adds to its cozy charm.
