Madagascar PoNCHo

Introducing our wonderfully warming poncho pattern, featuring a cozy loose turtle neck that makes it perfect for any occasion, whether you're relaxing at home or heading out on the town. This versatile poncho is designed to be worn comfortably throughout the year, providing both style and comfort for knitters of all levels.
This poncho is ingeniously worked from the top down, beginning with a long, inviting collar. We incorporate short rows for neck shaping, along with double M1L and M1R increases for the shoulders, ensuring a flattering fit. The design continues with single increases and delightful flys, creating a seamless piece that fits sizes from small to large, making it an inclusive choice for everyone. I adore the simplicity of its elegant geometric stripe pattern, which adds a touch of sophistication to this cozy garment.

MATERIALS
To create this stunning poncho, you will need:
- Isager Strik Silk Mohair: 5 skeins = 1060.5 meters (1159.8 yards), 125 grams, in color 47
- Isager Strik Tweed: 6 skeins = 1201.5 meters (1314.0 yards), 300 grams, in color 2704
Both yarns are held together to achieve a soft and luxurious texture that elevates the warmth and aesthetic of your finished poncho.

GAUGE
For optimal results, aim for a gauge of 21 stitches x 28 rows in stockinette stitch, measuring 10 x 10 cm or 4 x 4 inches. This ensures that your poncho has the perfect drape and fit.

NEEDLES
You will need 1 circular needle in US 7 / 4.5 mm with a length of at least 100 cm (39.4 inches). Additionally, you may want to use double-pointed needles (dpns) in US 7 / 4.5 mm or a circular needle for the magic loop technique when crafting the collar.

NOTIONS
This knitted poncho pattern includes various techniques such as short rows and increases (M1L, M1R) to help create its unique design and fit.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
The overall length of the finished poncho is approximately 75 cm (29.5 inches), making it a generous and comfortable piece to wear. The length of the collar adds an additional element of coziness and style.
