Side Tie Poncho

This stunning, versatile poncho is the perfect addition to your wardrobe for year-round wear! Whether you're looking to stay cozy during cool spring or summer nights or need an extra layer in the fall and winter, this poncho has got you covered. Knit with size 10 (6mm) needles and worsted weight yarn (9 wpi), it’s preferable to use cotton, a cotton blend, or any yarn with a lovely drape for the best results.

The poncho features a top-down construction that begins with a circular needle, allowing you to knit in the round. As you progress, you’ll switch to knitting back and forth for the front and back pieces, resulting in a seamless design. One of the best aspects of this pattern is that it doesn’t require any ribbing; the neck naturally rolls, giving it a beautiful finish. This project is an excellent choice for knitters who enjoy a more relaxed approach, making it ideal for car rides, waiting at the doctor’s office, or leisurely evenings at home.

The stylish ties on the sides, positioned just under the sleeves, lend a touch of shaping to the poncho, enhancing its overall aesthetic while maintaining its roomy fit. Available in two sizes, this poncho accommodates a variety of body types: Small/Medium (46 inches wide x 27.75 inches long) and Large (48 inches wide x 28.25 inches long). The stitches used in this project include knit, purl, ssk, ssp, sl-2, psso, k2tog, p2tog, and kfb - making it suitable for knitters at an easy to intermediate skill level.
