Let me introduce: This is my daughter-in-law Steffi (1.58 m tall), my hairdresser Petra (1.73 m tall), and my mannequin (1.85 m) - all three show you how beautifully and casually my summer poncho drapes and that it looks fantastic on every woman - no matter how tall she is or what dress size she wears. It drapes casually and loosely and flatters the figure. The pattern is also very easy for beginner knitters to follow, because we only knit knit stitches, purl stitches, and yarn overs.

This is an ideal spring knitting project. The nicer the weather gets, the more you can look forward to wearing this wonderful poncho soon.

Materials:

• approx. 80 g of “Drachenwolle” (600 m/100 g) or another yarn with the same yardage
• Circular knitting needle with metal tips, size 3.5

I hope you enjoy knitting and wearing this wonderful summer poncho.
