THE DESIGN
“With optional ribbed details.”
This Churchmouse Classic was inspired by some of our most beloved patterns! This gorgeous poncho has the effortless wearability of the Easy Folded Poncho (forever a favorite), the smart seamlessness of our Two-Point Cowl, and the beautifully mitering diagonals of our Walking Rib Cowl & Muffler at the neck and hem. Timeless and elegant, this piece is also wonderfully cozy and comfortable.

We knit the Seamless Poncho in collaboration with Madelinetosh, choosing their 100% upcycled wool, Woolcycle Sport! This sport-weight yarn is made using wool top—the remnants from combing wool to align the fibers. It’s wonderfully soft and woolly, while also being washable (use the gentle, or ‘wool’ cycle for best results)—perfect for a wide range of hand-knit pieces. Responsibly made in Peru and then hand-dyed in Texas, Woolcycle Sport is Fair Trade and Responsible Wool Standard certified—hooray!

  • This 4-page pattern includes:
