This unconventional poncho with side slits is worked top-down, from the semi-turtleneck collar to the bottom. The ribbed part is worked “in the round”, it has a classic raglan yoke and looks amazingly similar to knitting, while the front and back bottom panels are worked flat, using the original Tunisian Plait Stitch for the front only. The open side slits for the arms make this the perfect outfit for mid seasons.

This pattern is easy to follow, thanks to the many links to my video tutorials explaining stitches and techniques. It uses basic Tunisian crochet stitches (tks, tps, …).
