I have finished a knitted poncho in multidirectional knitting, used an Iris Scheier- pattern as base, but changed the shape a bit, and changed the stitch pattern.



These pictures are sent to the other group and to Multi Directional Knitting group(Ther are people here who read that group)



I brouoght this Poncho to Barcelona... can't you see me sitting on the top of an open sight seeing bus, (waving to Gaudi, Picasso and you know...!).. in the morning! It is very easy to put in an hand bag, and I used only 150g yarn, so it's leight weighted too! All in all I was very happy with it.

I like it!! I can see why you were happy with it. It looks like just the thing to take along traveling or to have along when you go somewhere closer to home on a summer evening. I can see why you find this kind of knitting interesting. I haven't ventured into the multidirectional knitting yet.

Lovely, the colours blend with the sky and mountains.

Your new poncho is so pretty. What yarn did you use? Did you use a pattern from her book as a base? I assume it was done all in one piece. Any seaming?

Hi Jan! Thank You! Yes, I used the pattern in the book called "Elegant Openwork Poncho", But in stead of making the last triangle, I prefered to have a diamond hanging down back too. So I finished by starting a diamond from the top, and knitted downwards, at the same time as I "knitted in"the "side sts" at diamond 2 and 3. No seam, after a few ends to weave: ready to wear. The yarn is Sisu Fantasy, colour no.6457 from Sandnesgarn, Norway. Normal Gauge 27sts= 10cm/4", so it is a thin yarn. I cannot remember if I used needles 4,5 or 5mm

Wow Aud!

That is a beautiful ponch and it fits you so well. The colors are so nicely blended. Wear it proudly.
