Millefleur is a petite poncho, knitted from the bottom up and in the round. The repeat is intuitive and fluid and it’s a joy to knit. As you begin shaping, the pattern evolves, introducing new floral elements into your field of flow-ers. The use of stranded colourwork with Merino wool single ply yarn gives the knitted fabric a beautiful drape. Whether layered over other knits, wrapped over a summer dress in the evening, or pulled up as a cosy cowl beneath a winter coat, Millefleur is sure to become your go-to accessory!

NEEDLES & ACCESSORIES
Circular 3.5mm (US 4) needles, in lengths 40cm and 80cm or 100cm.
If you have a set of interchangeable needles, I recommend changing to a shorter cable at regular intervals over the shaping section.
Circular 3mm (US 2-3) needles in lengths 40cm and 80cm or 100cm for edgings.

1 stitch marker in a contrast colour for beginning of round.
11 (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19) stitch markers in a second colour to mark pattern repeats when shaping
