“Seashore” Poncho

Introducing a super-cosy, super-chunky poncho, perfect for those serene walks by the sea or leisurely days on a sandy shore! This delightful piece is like being wrapped in a warm blanket, offering both comfort and style. The poncho features a beautiful combination of moss stitch (known as USA seed stitch) and smooth stocking/stockinette stitch sections, creating a modern and textured look that is sure to turn heads.

This versatile poncho is designed to fit most body types, with a generous measurement of approximately 76cm/30in – 112cm/44in across the chest. Thanks to its stretchy fabric, it may even accommodate larger sizes, making it a fantastic choice for everyone.

The knitting pattern is simple and straightforward — perfect for a confident beginner or those looking for a relaxing project to enjoy while watching TV or chatting with friends. You'll only need basic skills, including casting on, binding off, and the fundamental knit and purl stitches. Each instruction is provided line by line in English, incorporating both British and US knitting terms. To assist you further, the pattern includes helpful photos and diagrams for easy assembly.

For this project, I have used Drops Snow Unicolour wool, but I have also included a list of virtually identical yarn options below, ensuring you have all the resources you need to create your beautiful poncho.
