I'm trying to design a summer poncho for myself. I bought some Reynolds Cabaret cotton tape for the sole reason that it was really cheap and I liked it, without knowing what I would do with it. I think I've settled on trying to knit a poncho with it. I'm still deciding how to make it and how to piece it together (two rectangles? 4 rectangles?). Finally, I want to try a new and striking stitch - no more straight-up garter and stockinette.
I thought of trying this seafoam stitch as illustrated here:
I wouldn't mind any poncho design assistance, either - I want it to have a point at the front and the back but maybe not on the arms, which is why I'm considering the two-rectangle method. Can 3 be used?
Many TIA for any advice! Rebecca
