Knit n Purl

Introducing our versatile one-piece, top-down poncho knitting pattern! This unique design features two distinct parts: the first section is knitted flat, allowing you the flexibility to adjust the head opening to your preference—make it smaller or larger based on your comfort. The second part is crafted in the round, giving you the option to customize the body width as well, whether you prefer a narrower or wider fit. You can continue knitting in the round to adjust the length of your poncho, ensuring it perfectly suits your style and needs. This poncho pattern comes in two lovely versions: a rich brown (version 2; sizes M-L) and a warm mocha (version 1; sizes L-2X). With this design, the choice of yarn and color is entirely yours, as any yarn will work beautifully! A significant benefit of this pattern is that gauge is unimportant, allowing for even more creativity and freedom in your project. **Gauge Details:** For Section 1, the gauge is 1” = 4 sts x 5 rows or 5 sts x 5 rows. For Section 2, the gauge is 1” = 4 sts x 6 rows or 5 sts x 7 rows. **Measurements** (after blocking, lying flat): - Head Opening: 14" / 16” - Widest Part: 34" / 40” - Shortest Length: 13" / 15” - Longest Length: 25" / 28” A special thanks goes out to our dedicated testers: Classy76, Elizabeth11, kayemgee, alllyooop, and greenbean, who have made this pattern possible. **Important Note:** The designer emphasizes that any yarn can be used for this pattern, and we have offered suggestions based on our most popular yarn types.
