Dreamleaf poncho is a beautiful poncho with a delicate leaf pattern along the arms. The poncho is knitted in the round with increases to create the shape. There are two versions to choose from, one version with German Short Rows to shape the shoulders and one version without short rows. The poncho without the short rows will be a few cm longer in the front and back. The length along the arms is the same on both versions. Two charts are knitted simultaneously throughout the work, one chart for the front and back and one chart for the leaf pattern. The poncho is finished with an i-cord edge and stitches are picked up at the neckline to knit an i-cord edge there as well.
