This small poncho-shaped Luce warmer is eye-catching and comfortable, especially when knitted in pure wool for core warmth. The pattern is a simple one, but special attention is given to the details, making the piece look beautifully finished. Luce is knit as one large rectangle with one end a provisional cast on and the other end part of the cast-off edge. The long edge which becomes the bottom as you wear it is finished with an attached i-cord, knitted as you go.

It is simple to make the LUCE larger, should you wish more coverage. Simply add one pattern repeat to the width and knit more rep to make it longer. This will use more than 1 skein of eco-wool.

As a special note, I prefer the yarn to have room to “breathe” so I use a larger needle than recommended on the wool wrapper. This is personal taste and needle size and yardage should be adjusted to suit your preferences should you follow manufacturer’s recommendations for gauge.

Jan. 1, 2018. I have updated the pdf pattern to clarify some ambiguities in the stitch chart and written instructions. If you have already purchased this pattern you will receive an updated version from Ravelry. Thanks to everyone who has bought the Luce Warmer pattern! Remember to post photos of your finished piece!
Happy knitting.
