Product Details
At some point - and honestly, I still don't know how! - eight 50g balls of baby alpaca DK weight yarn showed up in my stash. One day, I decided to design something that would use up as much of it as possible. I decided to go for a poncho made out of two rectangles joined together at the shoulders. One fancy lace-and-cables edging chart and a whole bunch of moss stitch later, plus some garter stitch for the top and bottom edgings, and I had myself a fantastic, flowy layering piece!
Note that the bust circumferences given for the wearer of the garment are super-approximate and very flexible, given the nature of a poncho - it’s the wingspan which should be more of a deciding factor for size.
