Margo Poncho
Introducing the Margo Poncho, a stylish and cozy accessory designed for knitters aiming for a unique project with an oversized fit. This beautiful poncho uses bulky-weight yarn and is crafted flat in two pieces—one for the front and one for the back. The pieces are seamlessly joined at the shoulders using the three-needle bind-off technique, ensuring a neat and professional finish. The innovative design features a buttoned connection between the front and back, adding practicality to its modern silhouette.
The Margo Poncho showcases an easy faux cable stitch pattern that’s both fun and interesting to knit. While these stitches resemble traditional cables, they are created using a simple combination of slipped stitches and yarn overs, making them accessible to knitters of all skill levels. The back piece is intentionally crafted longer than the front, offering a contemporary, stylish drape that makes it perfect for layering over your favorite outfits.
Only two sizes are provided for this versatile poncho, as both sizes accommodate a variety of bust measurements due to its intentionally oversized design. The S/M size is designed to fit bust measurements ranging from 32 to 42 inches, while the L/XL size caters to bust measurements of 43 to 52 inches. However, if you find yourself within the L/XL range but prefer a slightly less oversized fit, opting for the S/M size is a great alternative.
