Needle: This pattern requires a US 7 / 4.5mm needle, which is perfect for achieving the lovely drape and texture of the poncho.

Gauge: To ensure the perfect fit, aim for a gauge of 16 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches. Always check your gauge before starting the project!

Finished Dimensions: The poncho is designed to fit a range of bust sizes: Small - 26”-34” [66-86cm], Medium - 36”-44” [91.5-112cm], and Large - 46”-54” [117-137cm]. This makes it a wonderful addition to any wardrobe, providing comfort and elegance for various body types.

Skills Required: This project is suitable for knitters with basic skills, including easy lace techniques (yarn over, k2tog, ssk), knitting and purling through the back loops, and using a provisional cast-on. It’s a fantastic opportunity to enhance your knitting repertoire while creating a beautiful, functional garment.
