Poncho is worked in one piece working back and forth on circular needles the same as working with straight needles.
Work begins at the lower front edge of piece and proceeds upwards. Stitches are bound off for neck opening and cast on again for back side of piece.
Piece has two different colors being worked at the same time. When switching between colors bring new color underneath old color before completing the first stich of new color. Pull both colors snugly after the first stitch is made with the new color. This will insure there are no holes between colors.
Main body of cape is worked in Stockinette stitch while bottom borders and edges are worked in Garter stitch.
Cowl neck is crocheted because chenille yarn is so thin and using the slip stitch back loop only created a nice cowl. Feel free to knit cowl if you are not comfortable crocheting. Simply pick up stitches evenly around neckline and work in Stockinette stitch to desired length. Sew beginning and end together.
