Sorcha's Shawl

**Discover the Sorcha Poncho: A Radiant Knitted Delight** Introducing the Sorcha Poncho, a gorgeous knitting pattern that embodies the essence of its enchanting Irish name, which means "bright, radiant, light." This stunning piece is crafted from the neck down, making it a perfect project for knitters looking to create something special. With intricate trinity eyelets, cable-and-eyelet ribs, and mesmerizing radiant beams that flow outward, the Sorcha is not just a poncho; it’s a work of art. Using a luxurious worsted cotton/silk/rayon blend yarn, this poncho is as vibrant as it is comfortable. The yarn’s stunning colors will allow you to showcase your creativity while producing a garment that is sure to draw compliments every time you wear it. Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or adding a cozy layer to your everyday outfit, the Sorcha Poncho is versatile and stylish. While the recommended yarn, Kudo, works beautifully for this design, feel free to explore other worsted weight options such as wool, wool-blends, or cotton. If you opt for a wool yarn, keep in mind that its exceptional blocking properties will allow the finished piece to be larger, resulting in a flowy, drapey look. This engaging and enjoyable knit is filled with delightful details that will keep you motivated to work "just one more row." It serves as a wonderful tribute to the beauty of the Emerald Isle, with each stitch reflecting the lush landscapes and vibrant culture of Ireland. For those who prefer a shorter version of this stunning poncho, a design that ends approximately 14 inches from the neck can be achieved with just around 400 yards of yarn. **ERRATA (Updated August 18, 2012):** In Round 2 of the Radiant Beams Lace section, please note the correction: [yo, ssk, p7, k2tog] Dive into this delightful knitting adventure and create your own Sorcha Poncho today!
