GAUGE:

14 sts + 23 rnds = 4" [10 cm] in Stockinette st (knit every rnd) on larger needle. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

M1 (make 1 st) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between the needles and placing it onto the left needle. Work this new stitch through the back loop.

NOTES:

Poncho is knit from neck to bottom edge. Change to longer circular needles when needed.
Between Rnds 66 and 87, and Rnds 123 and 145, length of poncho is increased a different amount for each size.

I made this for a friend of mine...she loved it!!! Reviewed by Shelane Bell on 2009-06-29
It's definitely a warm one. I would suggest using lace or wooden needles; the suede yarn was a little slippery on the Boyes. I wish I'd known more about multicolor knitting when I made this. I had trouble with the tension, color changes and starting the next row. That's not a reflection on the pattern at all though, that's just me.
