This poncho is made of 4 symmetrical triangles with a subtle purl/knit design that creates the allusion of mountains. It is very easy to knit the poncho as stockinette without knitting the purl/knit mountain design.

The design begins with a Provisional Cast On to knit the neck ribbing. The pattern includes alternate instructions for those that do not want to use a Provisional Cast On. From the neck ribbing the poncho is worked top down and ends with a three inch wide ribbing at the bottom.

If you don’t like charts the design can be knit totally without using the charts.

Measurements After Blocking
Triangle Spines from the neck ribbing / 19 inches
