Step-by-step pattern
Front
All p. right jersey.
Cast on 70 sts. At 27cm, begin shaping the shoulder. On both sides, decrease 1-1-1-2-3-4-4-4. At 31cm, begin shaping the neck with the middle 7 sts, then 3-3-2-1, finishing one side and then the other.
Back
Cast on 70 stitches, the same length and shape of the shoulders as the front, and finally cast off all the straight stitches at once. Sew one side, and from the neck opening, remove the necessary stitches to make the collar, which will be 20 cm long. Cast off the stitches and sew the collar and shoulder to the other side. Fold the collar over and sew in the round.
The cord-like fringes are 40 cm long. They are sewn onto the poncho and a ribbon trim is placed inside to hold them in place.
Finishes
- Finish off strands with a wool needle.
- Block gently so the poncho keeps its shape.
💡 Tips
- If you prefer a larger size, add starting points and increase the length.
- You can customize the fringes using combined colors of Ruby Alma .
- The collar can also be knitted in garter stitch for a more structured finish.
