Part of City Collection.

Not quite a poncho, not quite a sweater, this hybrid works as both. easy to pull over your head and slip on, it is perfect knitwear for cooler days.

Worked in a simple geometric shape, this design uses wide ribs that flow into the Basketweave Stitch Pattern of the main body. Short rows shape the shoulders and a 3-needle bind-off joins the front to the back so that seaming is kept to a minimum.

Yarn Requirements:
Chunky yarn in the following amounts: 600 m./656 yds. (875 m./957 yds.;
1200 m./1312 yds.)
A lighter weight yarn may be used and doubled, as in the sample pictured. Then double the amount of yardage will be required.

The sample pictured is knit with two strands of Fleece Artist Woolie Silk 3-ply held together throughout. The colours pictured are “Burnt Sienna” and “Amber”.
