Dirty Chai

Dirty Chai is a long tunic length poncho. The model (it’s me!) is 5’ 6” and the number of repeats worked (size Medium/11 total length repeats) creates an almost knee-length garment. The buttons on the sides are non-functional. There are instructions for a reinforced buttonhole in the stitch guide if you want to place real button holes on the front of the piece. If you do this I would suggest placing the rst buttonhole after third 16-row repeat of the front (or the second repeat if you plan to subtract repeats for a shorter garment).

The yarn used for this design comes in 250 grams skeins. The approximate grams for each size (if the same number of repeats is worked as the pattern states) is: 685 (748, 815, 930, 984, 1,040). The medium size (748 grams/1,406 yards) comes very close to needing an additional skein. Keep this in mind when choosing yarn.
