Color Block Poncho | Machine Knitting Project

Geometric color play and unusual construction makes this poncho a winner! Knit in panels and use the sew-as-you-go joining method, and you'll be done in no time!

The dynamic pattern allows you to knit this beautiful poncho on any machine with any yarn. We knit ours in plain stockinette, but it would be great with a textured stitch pattern as well.

The project will walk you through knitting your poncho and give you some tips for making it special. Also included is a video to help you alter this unusual shape for your size.
