Please read this before purchasing my pattern (DISCLAIMER)
Due to my cognitive disabilities, I am unable to do e.g. size gradings and coordinate a large test. For this reason, this pattern comes in one size only and in English only. However I am doing my very best to offer a well written pattern and include size modification tips.

You tricked me is a poncho with an innovative asymmetric double collar neckline, and I’m thrilled to be able to share it with you. There is no dedicated frontside, so it can be worn any way you like.
Designing the poncho wasn’t easy. It was teasing me and leading me in another direction that I had anticipated. This is why I have chosen to name it You tricked me. It ended up being much more simple and elegant, and I hope you will love it as much as I do.

Construction
You tricked me is knitted in modules. First you knit 6 triangles flat, and join them together with a crochet stitch. Then you knit the 2 collars in the round. It’s finished off with an intarsia bottom hem.
