Going to the Mountains Poncho

The Going to the Mountains Poncho is a fun, engaging knit that creates the coziest, snuggliest winter accessory – perfect for a weekend in the mountains! It’s basically a perfect-fitting blanket.

The design features crossed slipped stitches representing the mountains, which are surrounded with colorwork motifs representing dirt hiking trails and falling snow. The flow of the colorwork is rhythmic and relaxing, and the slipped cross stitch texture adds interest to the project.

This pattern is worked top down. This version of the pattern includes written instructions only.

The bust measurement shown is the actual body bust measurement. The poncho is designed to include 5 in / 12.5 cm positive ease at the bust with arms down. If your bust size is not listed, select the next size up from your measurement. The sample shown in the photos is the smallest size (34” / 86.5 cm bust circumference) on a 34” bust.

Techniques include two-color colorwork, increases, and slipped cross stitches.
