Miyako poncho
Miyako Poncho is a beautifully designed cabled poncho that offers versatility for all seasons. Whether you're dressing up for a chilly evening or layering up for the daytime, this stunning poncho is an essential addition to your wardrobe. Crafted from the top down, this pattern is designed for ease of wear, featuring a round construction for the upper and bottom body, and a flat work method for the armholes. One of the best features of the Miyako Poncho is its customizability—you can effortlessly adjust the length by adding additional repeats to suit your style and preference.
Size Options: Available in sizes S (M/L/XL/2XL) to accommodate a wide range of body types. The finished measurements are as follows: Width of approximately 62 (71/73/75/81) cm (24.4 (28/28.7/29.5/31.9 inches). The length from neck to the front bottom is about 62 (69/69/73/77) cm (24.4 (27.2/27.2/28.7/30.3 inches). This means that whether you're looking for a snug fit or a more relaxed silhouette, there's a size that fits your needs.
MATERIALS: For this stunning project, you will need Worsted weight yarn, specifically 5 (6/8/9/11) balls of Lang Yarns Angelina (150m/50g) in Colour #26. This equates to about 750 (900/1080/1300/1560) meters or approximately 820 (980/1180/1420/1700) yards of yarn. For the best results, use a 3 mm circular needle. It's important to note that I opted for a smaller needle size than usual for worsted weight, which gives the cables a tighter, more defined look. You are free to adjust the needle size depending on the yarn you choose to use.
Gauge: The recommended gauge for this pattern is 20 stitches × 22 rows = 10 cm in plain stitch. To complete this project, you will also need a few essential notions: stitch markers and a tapestry needle, which will make your knitting experience smoother and more efficient.
With its intricate cabling and seamless design, the Miyako Poncho is not just a knitting pattern—it's an opportunity for you to create a unique piece that showcases your skills while providing comfort and style for yourself or as a thoughtful gift.
