'Lorna' Poncho
Introducing a beautifully knitted piece designed specially for my lovely sister Lorna, perfect for her leisurely afternoons in her charming French garden and while exploring the picturesque Lot/Dordogne area of France. This stunning pattern features a delightful stitch texture that elegantly showcases the exquisite yarn used.
This knitting pattern is ideal for both beginners and experienced knitters. With straightforward stitch patterns formed exclusively from knit and purl stitches, it provides an easy yet engaging knitting experience. The project is crafted using 2 needles and involves simple sewing techniques. Each step is clearly laid out with line-by-line instructions in English, featuring both British and American knitting terminology. To enhance your experience, detailed photos and an easy-to-follow diagram are included to guide you through the sewing process.
The yarn used for this enchanting piece is King Cole Chunky Tweed in the color Orkney (1076). While this specific yarn is recommended, feel free to substitute it with any chunky or bulky yarn that suits your preferences—just ensure that you check the tension or gauge for the best results!
This knitted garment is designed to fit a wide range of sizes. It was photographed on a model with a UK size 8 (US size 4) and a chest measurement of 81cm (32in). The pattern accommodates chests measuring approximately 76cm (30in) up to 112cm (44in), and because the design is roomy, it offers additional flexibility in fit—hanging slightly differently yet still retaining a fabulous look!
