Ruffner
Introducing the Ruffner seamless lace poncho, a beautifully crafted accessory that combines elegance and comfort. With its exquisite garter stitch border and minimal finishing, this poncho is perfect for knitters of all levels. The knitting journey begins with a clever provisional cast-on technique, allowing you to pick up stitches alongside the live ones. This method creates a stunning neck opening while eliminating any visible starting point, giving your poncho a seamless look. Additionally, the unique bind-off integrates along the garter stitch border, making finishing a breeze. You’ll only have a handful of stitches left to unite through grafting, effortlessly removing any sign of a visible ending.
The Ruffner pattern includes comprehensive directions for two different yarn weights, allowing you to customize your project to your preferences. Choose from Version 1 with fingering weight yarn or Version 2 with worsted weight yarn:
- Version 1: Perfect for a lighter feel, this poncho measures 25” x 20” (63.5cm x 51cm) when folded into a rectangle.
- Version 2: For a cozy yet stylish option, this version measures 24” x 22” (61cm x 56cm) when folded into a rectangle.
The worsted weight version requires approximately 500 yards of yarn and utilizes US #9 (5.5mm) needles, making it a perfect stash-busting project. Whether you're looking to add a chic layer to your wardrobe or create a thoughtful gift for a loved one, the Ruffner poncho is an excellent choice. Enjoy the calming art of knitting while creating this stunning accessory that you can wear with pride. Start your Ruffner poncho today and embrace the joy of knitting with our user-friendly pattern!
