This poncho is a simple knit with just a four-row pattern repeat (with only one row requiring more attention), so it’s perfect for a relaxing knit. Worked in Merino Worsted yarn from the Louise Robert Collection, it’s a pleasure to knit such a soft and lovely yarn. The poncho also features a simple 3-stitch I-cord edging, and when complete, the bind-off edge is sewn to the side to create the poncho shape (or, for the wrap, left open and unseamed).
