This poncho was designed with chilly days in mind, to be worn around the house keeping you super-cosy as you go about your day. Worked top-down in the round, the main body of the poncho is worked in garter stitch. It features 4 simple cable panels. This design is very flexible – there are tips at the end of the pattern including suggestions for making a cowl instead, and altering the neck style.

Skills required: Cast on, working in the round using dpns and circular needle, knit, purl, yarn over, simple cable stitches, p2tog, p2tog tbl, cast off.

Suitable for advanced beginner/intermediate knitters.
