Can be worn around neck as a long, bulky cowl or around shoulders as a poncho.

Use extra large gauge 41 peg Knifty Knitter yellow loom or 40 peg Boye pink loom or 3/4” gauge CinDWood 42 peg loom.

Cast on using 2 pegs as 1, giving wider gauge.

Intermediate level pattern. Worked as a flat panel and then seamed together. Uses combination u-knit, slip stitches, and basic bind off. Also involves moving loops from one peg to another and knitting 2 together. Also includes photo tutorial.

Pattern includes different bind off options.

Make sure your yarn has some stretch (tried pattern with Homespun and was very difficult).

Used Patons Cobbles, which is a very bulky 6 yarn. Used just over 2 skeins. shown in mustard seed

Second one done using Purl Essence, Sincerely Chunky (a regular bulky 6 yarn) holding 2 strands held as 1. Added tassels around bottom edge. Used 2 skeins. shown in cream
