In Autumn Beauty
And the yellow sunflower by the brook, in autumn beauty stood.
― William Cullen Bryant
This is a pattern for a poncho worked from the top down and using the stranded knitting technique.
Stitches are cast on to work the neck and then Chart is worked first Rounds 1 - 14 and then repeating Rounds 15 - 28 changing colours for each repeat. Then Chart B is worked before a bit of striped rib and bind off.
Experience and comfort using charts is helpful with this project.
This pattern matches my Delicious Autumn hat.
