Ever wanted to knit yourself a big, cozy hug? I think this poncho is about as close as it gets! With cables and the textural goodness of moss stitch, this is the perfect classic throw-over for when the weather gets chilly. Wear it your way, but highly recommended to pair with your favourite jeans!

SIZES
Small/Medium (S/M)
Width: 80cm (32”)
Length: cropped–50cm (20”), or full length–60cm (24”)
Medium/Large (M/L)
Width: 113cm (44”)
Length: cropped–50cm (20”), or full length–60cm (24”)

To choose a size, measure how each width will fit from one of your arms to the other when they’re both raised and lowered, across the back of your shoulders, and decide where you prefer the edges of the poncho to sit. To choose the length, measure from the top of your shoulders down over the bust and stomach. Note that because of the poncho’s rectangular shape, you will end up with additional length where the corners fall when your arms are lowered.

YARN
Adagio Mills Alpaca 8ply (100% Alpaca; 95m {104yds}/50g), samples pictured in Clouds colourway
S/M cropped version: 14 balls/700g – 1330m/1456yds
S/M full length version: 16 balls/800g –1520m/1664yds

M/L full length version: 22 balls/1100g – 2090m/2288yds

For optimal results, the use of a non-superwash yarn is recommended. Please note that if you are substituting a different fibre to alpaca, your final measurements and fabric drape may differ.
