🀠 5 Knit Poncho Patterns To Finish Off Summer

Summer vacation is quickly coming to an end, and temperatures are starting to cool in the evenings.

That means you're going to want something to keep you a little warmer, but not TOO warm.

Enter the poncho.

It's heavier than a shawl, but not as big as a sweater.

A poncho is the perfect balance of warmth and comfort.

Here are a few of our favorite patterns...

​Diagonal Tassel Poncho by Nicky Epstein

Why we love it: We're big fans of garter stitch, and this uses it and color and unique directions to create something truly unique!

​

​Conservative Poncho by Reiko Murata

Why we love it: This simple poncho screams elegance. From the cozy turtle neck to the subtle garter stitch details, what's not to love?

​

​Steppe Poncho by Mary Maxim

Why we love it: The tweed yarn and stair stepped color work give this poncho a southwest vibe we're digging.

​

​Sumire Poncho by Takako Takiguchi

Why we love it: The Japanese inspired lattice gives this poncho just the right amount of lace detail

​

​Autumn Leaves Linier Top by Sian Price-White

Why we love it: This poncho is as simple as it gets. Made from two rectangles with a lace leaf border, this is a great project for beginner lace knitters.

​

So there you have it! Some of our favorite poncho patterns.

But what about you? Do you have a favorite poncho pattern?

How to Add Fringe

If you want to make your edges a little more fancy then this technique is for you.

Adding fringe to your project not only give them a fun finish, it can also add length.

It's super simple and our friends at VeryPink will show you how.

🧢 Pattern Pick

Graphic Fringe Poncho by Vladimir Teriokhin

This simple poncho is a little on the fringe.

In fact it seems at times it might unravel everywhere.

But don't worry, looks can be deceiving.

Everything in this project is totally secure.

And best of all this one is 100% FREE!
