Morning Glory Poncho
This versatile poncho knitting pattern is designed to be worked in rounds from the top down, making it a perfect project for knitters of all levels. After completing the neck section, you’ll effortlessly increase at both the front and back edges, allowing you to create a comfortable, stylish fit that drapes beautifully to the bottom edge. As you alternate between the main color (MC) and the contrast color (CC), it's important to remember to twist the yarn one time at each round join to prevent any loose stitches. For an added touch of sophistication, ensure that the round joins are placed at the center of the back for a seamless look.
The length of your poncho is highly customizable, giving you the flexibility to add or remove pattern repeats according to your preference. For the garter stitch sections, simply purl for the first round and knit for the second round to achieve a classic finish that enhances the texture of the poncho.
Enjoy every moment of crafting this delightful poncho!
