Knitted Poncho/Stole, featherlight - very easy




(Please click the image to purchase/download)

One size - pattern and shape are absolutely suitable for beginners.

This is a short pattern for a featherlight, very easy-to-knit poncho in one size, using only 100 g of KidSilk (Austermann). For beginners, I recommend (lace) yarns without mohair, since mohair is almost impossible to unravel.

The PDF pattern includes the preview image.

The poncho can also be knitted nicely as a warm outdoor poncho with chunky wool, 100 g - 100 m, with size 8.0 needles. Required yarn amount then approx. 700 g. The stitch count is always based on your individual gauge.
For converting your individual gauge, I recommend this here: 
READING instead of calculating - PDF table for knitting and crochet
as well as my blog post: Converting gauge - here’s how..

These basic knitting skills are sufficient:
casting on stitches, edge stitch (your favorite edge stitch), knit and purl stitches, bind off.
