Linus' Dream

Discover the ultimate comfort with this simple and stylish poncho knitting pattern, designed to wrap you in warmth and solace during life's stressful moments. Starting with a thick, snuggly cowl neck adorned with an eye-catching spiraling design, this beautifully crafted piece transitions into a comforting expanse of stockinette stitch. Not only will this poncho provide you with warmth and comfort while knitting, but it also transforms into a chic wearable blanket that you'll love draping over your shoulders!

This portable, stylish blankie is truly Linus’ dream come true! For those familiar with the beloved Peanuts character, Linus symbolizes comfort and security with his trusty security blanket—and now you too can have a knitted version! (Fun fact: Linus was my favorite character in Peanuts. We shared so much in common, and I even played Linus in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" during high school.)

If you're looking to customize the size of your poncho, simply increase the number of rows you knit. Just a heads-up: be sure to purchase additional yarn to accommodate any size modifications. The original design features a versatile 48" wingspan that fits a variety of body types. I've tested it on many models, from tall and slender to those who are shorter and curvier like me at 5'2" and round, round, round!

This pattern has been expertly tech edited by the fantastic Lisa Houchins of Meanest Mommy Knits, ensuring clarity and accuracy throughout. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this poncho knitting pattern is an engaging project that enhances your skills while providing comfort and style.

Get ready to elevate your knitting game and create a cozy poncho that you can wear anywhere, making it the perfect addition to your wardrobe!
