3 in 1 Poncho

Moving between colors, this poncho is a captivating and quick knit using slipped stitches for the “colorwork”. It can be worked up in DK weight or fingering weight held double. It is a perfect project for advent or the countdown to the holidays. My sole inspiration for this piece was the beautiful yarn; I wanted a garment to wear and to use every bit of yarn, all the colors, leaving minimal scraps at the end. Using a contrasting lighter color helps show off the play of colors.

Knit flat in two pieces, the 3 in 1 Poncho begins with a provisional cast on which gives 2 options for joining the two pieces.

Next, stitches are picked up along the long edges, bound off and joined partially with a 3-needle bind off creating the 3-in-1 opening for your head.
