Ponchos are great pieces of clothing. They warm you so well and still offer a lot of free moving space. You are wrapped up like being in a cozy cocoon. So you will be ready for the cold season.
Mellea is knit top down. This ensures that you can knit the poncho to whatever length suits you. With the ingenious increase of the round yoke, the poncho can be adjusted to any size. There is a written pattern as well as charts.

At the end of this pattern, there is a workshop on how to adjust the poncho to any size and yarn weight. So you can knit it in children’s sizes as well.

Detailed pattern, contains professional knitting charts as well as a written pattern of the charts.
