Shifting Sands

Experience the beauty and craftsmanship of our oversized Celtic knotwork poncho, a unique knitting pattern born from a collaborative effort with my eldest daughter. This enchanting design features intricately woven Celtic knotwork patterns, creatively transformed into stunning cable borders. Rated for experienced knitters, this pattern showcases the complexity of the cables, which requires two cable needles to navigate the most intricate sections.

The construction of the poncho is straightforward, as both the back and front panels are knitted flat before being seamlessly joined at the shoulders using a three-needle bind-off technique. The elegant collar is worked in the round, ensuring a polished finish that enhances the overall aesthetic of the poncho.

This versatile pattern is fully charted, catering to visual learners, while detailed row-by-row instructions accompany each chart, making it easier for knitters to follow along. The poncho can be customized with functional buttonholes and buttons for added utility or designed with decorative buttons for a more artistic touch. If opting for functional buttons, choose six 1" buttons; alternatively, decorative buttons can enhance your design and can vary in size up to about 2".
