Intro

The Marshmallow poncho or as I call it the Ha&&y Styles poncho features my latest stitch – the optical illusion stitch which can be clearly seen. The stripes enhance the optical illusion element. It is made of light premium acrylic yarn. Spacious, soft and extremely comfortable to wear. Paired with jeans and trainers or a black outfit radiates contemporary and bohemian look.

The pattern fits sizes from 12-18.

The pattern and instructions are both in UK and USA terminology.

Resizing

If you would like to make the poncho smaller, use less repetitions of the Optical illusion pattern.

For a larger poncho, use more repetitions of the pattern.

The poncho is worked in few phases:

1. Front and back long panel X2
