The document includes both metric and imperial measurements, a detailed schematic, and a black-and-white flat photo for reference. Skill Level: Easy. Essential Skills Required: Basic knit and purl stitches, 1X1 ribbing, picking up stitches, and knitting in the round for the collar only.
Materials Required: To create this beautifully airy poncho, you’ll need approximately 1000 meters (or 1094 yards) of chunky gauge mohair yarn or another light, fluffy fiber (think brushed, fluffy, or hairy). Ensure you have a long pair of 10mm needles and a 5mm circular needle (60cm/24 inches long) for the collar. You will also need 6mm circular needles (60cm/24 inches long) for both the collar and sleeve cuffs—straight needles can be used for this section as well. Don't forget large stitch holders and a yarn needle for sewing the sleeve cuff seams!
Tension Gauge: Achieve the right fit with a tension gauge of 10 stitches and 12 rows equaling 10 cm / 4" over stockinette stitch with the 10mm needle. For the ribbing, aim for 17 stitches and 20 rows equaling 10 cm / 4" with the 6mm needles.
