The Enormous Triangle Ponshawl
Discover the ultimate knitting adventure with our super-sized & super-snuggly triangular shawl pattern, perfect for both novice and experienced knitters. This strikingly simple project serves as an excellent introduction to triangular shawl knitting, and with the addition of a strategically placed icord, it easily transforms into a cozy poncho—affectionately dubbed a “ponshawl.”
Crafted using large 12mm needles and featuring only basic stitches and simple increases, this project is ideal for a rewarding weekend crafting session. For more seasoned knitters, it offers a quick and satisfying knitting experience. We provide recommendations for two different super-chunky yarns to suit various needs and budgets: one option features 100% acrylic for a dense, heavy fabric, while the other consists of 100% wool, allowing for a more flexible and breathable result upon blocking. Regardless of your yarn choice, this versatile pattern is designed to utilize almost all of the yarn, ensuring minimal waste.
The acrylic version becomes enormous right off the needles, creating a striking oversized piece, whereas the wool option can be blocked to size, yielding a beautifully draped garment. You'll find the instructions for both yarn types to be the same, with just a slight variation in the border to account for the different meterages. Whether you choose the plush feel of acrylic or the luxurious touch of wool, you're sure to create a stunning addition to your wardrobe.
Not only does this pattern provide step-by-step guidance, but it also includes helpful links to tutorials for all techniques used throughout the project, ensuring you have all the support you need to succeed. Dive into a delightful knitting experience and create your very own ponshawl today!
