Maude Poncho

By

From the August 2023 issue

That moment as the sun kisses the horizon and the sky is illuminated in calming shades of pink, gray, ivory and a hint of peach is captured perfectly in this yarn.
Ethereal is the most fitting way to describe this poncho.The incredibly soft and lightweight fabric is knit from side to side, devoid of seams, to mar the incredible beauty of this yarn as it gracefully drapes over the person lucky enough to wear it. For a cold weather version, add the funnel neck, bottom hem rib and sleeves as presented. For a version suitable for those fireside chats at the beach, skip the extras and just go with the flow of the poncho itself. Written to allow you to make changes along the way, this poncho will surely become a wardrobe staple.

Solara Swoncho

By

From the August 2022 issue

Solara takes advantage of the color transitions in a self-striping yarn that creates a sunset color background for a simple geometric colorwork pattern. The entire garment is worked bottom up, in the round, utilizing steeks for the deep split hemline and sleeve openings. After cutting the steeks and seaming the shoulders, sleeves and neck stitches are picked up and knit in the round in a broken rib pattern. Finally, fringe is attached to the side slits to highlight the deep slip hemline and to add a boho detail to this garment.
