I’m excited to share my new knitting pattern Wave Poncho. This poncho is a simple design but the applied i-cord edging interlaced on the shoulders transforms this into a unique piece.

This can be a project for an advanced beginner. I included a step by step guide and photo tutorial to explain the i-cord edging.

Finished Size: S (M, L); Length: 15 (17, 17) in; Top width: 15.5 (17, 19.5) in; Bottom width: 22.5 (26, 29.5) in.

Materials:

The pattern includes directions for the original DK version and the modified Chroma fingering version. The Chroma fingering version can also be purchased on Knit Picks website together with the necessary yarn.

Materials:

Yarn: Daily DK by Willow Yarns, DK / 8 ply, 100% Superwash Wool, 284 yards / 100 grams, Nightfall Heather (MC)
(2 skeins for sizes S and M; 3 skeins for size L); 5 small skeins of approximately 15 yards / 5 grams each in contrasting colors (CC1-5). Shown in colorway Ice, dyed in different blue tones by me.

Needles: Two 32 in (80 cm) US 7 (4.5 mm) circular needles, spare circular needle or long stitch holders for moving provisional stitches, 3 dpns size US 5 (3.75 mm) for i-cord border.

Notions: Approximately 30 stitch markers, tapestry needle, crochet hook for crochet provisional cast on, scrap yarn.

Notes:

• The poncho is worked flat from the top down in 2 pieces. You will create 2 identical pieces then join them together using applied i-cord edging.
• Pattern includes written directions, schematics and stitch guide for I-Cord Border.
• The pattern can be modified by replacing all M1R & M1L with yo to create a lacier look.
• Pattern is written for DK weight. To substitute Fingering weight yarn, make the next larger size than your normal size. To substitute Worsted weight, make the next size smaller than your normal size.

The pattern has been test knitted and professionally tech edited.
