Fair Isle poncho
machine-knit pattern pdf download (english)
The Fair Isle poncho is the perfect piece to wear on a walk outside or on a quiet winter night at home. We love its warmth and not-so-heavy weight.
The poncho is knitted in two halves grafted together in the middle. The small detailing on the elbow on one side gives an asymmetrical look. This garment doesn’t require a ribber so it’s a perfect project if you don’t have one.
You will find two-tone charts that will show the construction of the garment and pattern placements, but refer to the colourway chart of your choice for where to place the colours. Every motif is unique, so you can quickly identify your position in the pattern.
The possibilities for playing with colours are infinite. This knitting pattern will provide you with charts for a couple of traditional options: One in the famous bright Fair Isle colours with a slight “Marie twist” and one in the natural colours of Shetland sheep. It also includes charts for beginners’ colourways, where only the foreground or background colour changes. You will also find blank charts for you to use when choosing your own colours.
