Due to the luxurious cashmere blend, this poncho is seamed together using a mattress stitch at the shoulders. The edging and collar are then picked up to create an elegant faux seam. This seaming technique is critical for preventing garment drop over time, ensuring that your poncho maintains its beautiful drape and structure for years to come.
Don't worry if you prefer different materials! You can easily work this pattern with any size yarn or needle you desire. Just remember that the lace pattern features a repeat of 29 stitches, allowing for some flexibility in your design while keeping that sophisticated look intact.
