Stylish and simple Hideaway Poncho is a treasure of the closet that keeps you warm all year around. The voluminous poncho is knitted using a dreamy combination of merino wool and silk mohair. Otherwise the modest poncho has a small collar that rolls up. The knit stitch surface brings out beautifully the most stunning qualities of merino wool and silk mohair.

Hideaway Poncho is worked in two strands of yarn held from top down in stockinette stitch. The poncho is finished off with an I-Cord edge.

Finished Measurements:
Hideaway Poncho comes in two sizes: size 1 and size 2. Size 1 fits sizes xs-xl and size 2 fits sizes xxl and up. The biggest difference is the size of the neckline (60 cm / 24” – 70 cm / 28”). You can choose the size based on your preference on the looseness of the neckline.
Following the instructions, the poncho is 85cm / 33” long, but it can easily be altered to your own preferences. If you prefer, you can also easily knit a higher collar.
