Pattern description from Wrap Style: “Here’s proof that an off-center color pattern (or stitch pattern, for that matter) isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In this dynamic design, Teva Durham enlarges traditional argyle diamonds and places them slightly off center for a refreshing change of balance. She works the poncho in two pieces from the bottom up with decreases located along the side and shoulder seams where they don’t intrude on the color pattern. To make the color blocks on the front and back match at the side and shoulder seams, she works the two pieces as mirror images. To simplify the knitting, Teva adds the intersecting diagonal lines in duplicate stitch when the pieces are off the needles.”

Finished Size: 55.5” (141 cm) circumference at lower edge and 20” (51 cm) long.

Notions: Tapestry needle

Notes from Wrap Style:

• Work the chars in stockinette-stitch intarsia, using separate balls or bobbins of yarn for each color section. Do not strand unused colors across the back.
• The single-stitch diagonal red lines on the charts are not knitted in as you go. Work these stitches in the background colors; the red diagonal lines will be added with duplicate stitch after the piece is finished.
