Wheatsheaf Poncho

Discover the versatility of our stylish poncho knitting pattern, perfect for every season! This fashionable poncho can be worn in multiple ways: buttoned at the shoulder for a classic look, with buttons at the front to transform it into a chic cape, or styled with buttons to create a cozy sleeved shrug. Utilizing Aran weight yarn, achieving the correct gauge is crucial for a perfect fit, aiming for approximately 18 stitches x 24 rows using larger 5.5mm needles.

**Essential Needles and Notions:** To complete this beautiful poncho, you will need 5.5mm/US9 needles, a tapestry needle for finishing, and 12 (14, 16, 16, 18, 20, 22) 1 in/2.5 cm buttons to add that perfect finishing touch. Tension/Gauge is vital for this project: the body of the poncho in the cable pattern should measure approximately 18 stitches x 28 rows for a dimension of 3 in x 5.25 in (7.5 cm x 13.5 cm) using 5.5mm/US9 needles. Additionally, you should achieve a gauge of 17 stitches x 24 rows for a 4 x 4 in (10 x 10 cm) swatch in stocking stitch, after blocking. Charts A or B should measure approximately 4.5 in/11.5 cm wide after blocking, ensuring accuracy in your construction.
