Knitted poncho pattern

knitted poncho
I love ponchos, shawls and wraps.  Ponchos are great to just chuck on for a bit of warmth when you don't want to go full jumper, (also good for hiding accidental spills on your top when you were just having a cuppa and cake).

This knitting pattern is super easy.  I kept it plain as I loved the yarn and didn't want to distract from it.

The yarn is Abbey Road Strawberry fields mohair.  50% Acrylic , 22% Mohair, 20% Merino, 8% polyester.
90m per 50 gram ball.  Colour is: watermelon
I used 2 and a  half balls to complete this poncho.  

The recommended needle size is 7mm, but I used 9mm for a quick knit and light wearing garment.

All you do is knit a rectangle.
  • Cast on 50 stitches.
  • Knit 8 rows of garter stitch
  • Next row: knit 
  • Next row: knit 8, Purl to last 8 stitches, knit last 8 stitches
  • Repeat last 2 rows until rectangle is 137cm long.
  • Cast off
  • Sew together by joining cast off raw edge, to the bottom left hand side of poncho, (on top photo raw edge is going over my right shoulder to sewn join).

Hi there
Lovely pattern and finished garment. If I use 6.5mm needles do you think I could achieve a slightly smaller poncho for an average build 10 year old ?

Yes, that should work, and make the length about 15cm shorter. Or you can use the same needle size and do 15-20 stitches less, and 15-20cm less in length.
