This poncho is made from a simple rectangle, folded and sewn along one edge, with a gap remaining at one side for neck opening. The fabric is made using wave stitch, which involves winding the yarn around the needle once or twice on some stitches.

Correct tension is most important. To avoid disappointment, it is advisable to experiment with the technique on a small test piece before casting on for the project.

YARN
• 6 x 50g balls of Jo Sharp Mulberry Silk Georgette yarn
(this garment was previously knitted using Jo Sharp’s Alpaca Silk Georgette which was 130m per 50g. The Poncho used 7 balls of this yarn, however only 6 balls of Mulberry Silk Georgette are required as this yarn is 165m per 50g) The resulting garment is lighter and softer than when knitted with Alpaca Silk Georgette.
