Daggus

Each winter we have a couple of weeks of very heavy frost and it was then that the idea of the poncho came to my mind as a way of keeping me warm and comfortable at work.

The poncho is not very big and it doesn’t restrain your movements, on the other hand it’s perfectly warm and cozy.

Size: The pattern is written in two sizes, regular and large. The circumference at the neck is 25(28)” / 63(71)cm. Length is adjustable and depends on knitter’s preferences. The size can also be adjusted by going up or down a needle size, or by changing the yarn weight and adjusting the needles accordingly.

Level: Daggus is knit in the round, you need to know basic increases and decreases.

Yarn and gauge: about 1100 - 1300 yards / 1000 – 1200m of DK yarn that meets the gauge - 19 sts and 27 rows in stockinette = 10x10cm / 4x4".

My poncho is made with 530g/ 11 skeins/ 1160 yards/ 1060m Garnstudio Drops Lima (65% wool, 35% alpaca, 50g = 109 yards / 100m). The poncho is 20” / 50cm deep (body + final ribbing)
