The wide, comfortable poncho is designed as a one-size-fits-all garment, making it suitable for everyone with its highly elastic construction.Skills Required: To tackle this project, you should have solid basic to intermediate brioche knitting knowledge, some experience with double knitting, and familiarity with 3-stitch I-cord techniques.Recommended Needles: You'll need a set of circular needles in US size 7 (4.5mm) with one cord measuring 29-32 inches (80cm) and another measuring 60 inches (150cm). For a smaller size suitable for girls aged 7-10 years, consider using needles in US sizes 4 or 5 (3.5-3.75mm).Yarn Requirements: * For the Main Color (MC), you will need approximately 1 4/5 balls of yarn (we recommend the colorful, self-striping Alize Angora Gold, which has 500m or 547yds per 100g).
