Winter Skies - shawl AND poncho

Introducing our delightful poncho and shawl knitting pattern, perfect for knitters looking for a fun and rewarding project! Both designs feature a fun technique where you start at the top and increase on certain rounds or rows using luxurious sparkly mohair. The result? A stylish worsted-weight poncho or shawl that stands out in any collection. The patterns are easy to follow, ensuring a smooth knitting experience.

For the poncho, you’ll be working entirely in the round, making it a hassle-free project with minimal finishing required—just tuck in the ends! This seamless construction allows for a beautifully flowing garment that drapes gracefully over your shoulders.

For the shawl, the knitting begins flat with a small tab, transitioning into a beautifully patterned border. You'll repeat the lace design five times across the shawl, creating a stunning visual that showcases your knitting skills. The intricate lace pattern combined with the shimmering mohair truly gives this shawl a magical touch, reminiscent of "the stars at night".

Both the poncho and shawl utilize a luxurious mohair blend that features sequins, resulting in pieces that have a touch of sparkle and glamour. The sequins beautifully catch the light, making these garments perfect for special occasions or cozy nights out.

For the shawl, you will need approximately 320 yards of worsted weight wool (we recommend Rowan’s “Rowan Tweed” in the lovely color “Malham” – requiring 4 skeins). Additionally, you’ll require about 177 yards of the mohair blend (as featured in the sample, Rowan’s “Kid Silk Haze Glamour” in “Blood” – which uses 1 skein to add that touch of glitz to your final garment).

For the poncho, you'll need approximately 600 yards of worsted weight yarn. The combination of these yarns will ensure a warm, cozy finish that you can enjoy season after season.
