Yarns: For this project, we recommend using worsted Aran (4) weight yarn in your favorite colors—be it solid, vibrant, or self-striping options. The featured poncho was crafted using approximately 8 balls of Alize Burcum Batik. Each ball weighs 100 grams (3.53 ounces) and has a length of 210 meters or 230 yards. In total, you'll need around 800 grams, which equates to about 1680 meters or 1840 yards of yarn. Feel free to experiment with different yarn thicknesses and spins, such as homemade, hand-dyed, or hand-spun options, to achieve a unique, artistic, and rustic look.

To create this stylish poncho, you will need 11 stitch markers and 3 sets of wooden toggle closures (or you can craft your own closures to add a personal touch).

While gauge may be considered irrelevant for this pattern, it's noted that achieving a gauge of 12 stitches and 16 rows per 4" x 4" (or 10 x 10 cm) in stockinette stitch may enhance your knitting experience.

Whether you're looking to expand your knitting skills or create a standout piece for yourself or a loved one, this poncho pattern is a delightful choice.
