Ponchette for Spring

Saturday, 22. April 2006

The original pattern called for hemp yarn (DK weight) to knit this ponchette… but since I was trying to use up stash I figured Rowan Felted Tweed would make a lovely substitution as well. A friend of mine has been wanting a little poncho for a while now.. and I finally came across one that I actually like myself. Great use for stash yarn! The ponchette is modeled below by the lovely giftee…



Pattern: Hemp Ponchette
Materials: Less than 2 balls of Rowan Felted Tweed in Melody, Sz 7 needles.
Other than the little easy peasy knitting above, I’ve been working on the Sunrise Circle Jacket. Adding some minor modifications to the sleeves… but that will come in a later post.

    Wow, you’re right. In general ponchos get me going in a non-stop derisive giggle but this is gorgeous. You are one of those bloggers who makes my “to-knit” list expand exponentially.
