The Design

“Like wearing a hug.”

We really stepped up the cuddle with the Chunky Seamless Poncho. At the same scale as our beloved Easy Folded Poncho, but with the clever, seamless construction of our Seamless Poncho, we’ve knit this Churchmouse Classic at a chunky gauge. Our pattern includes options for a ribbed edging, as well as a nice, squishy ribbed turtleneck cowl if you’d like some extra warmth around your neck!

We knit a version of the Chunky Seamless Poncho in super-soft self-striper Lang Cloud and another in the wonderful plushness of Wool and the Gang’s Alpachino Merino.

This 4-page pattern includes:

• Two versions, two yarns
• Clear design schematics
• Optional turtleneck
• Instructions for finishing and blocking your piece
• Full color photography by Laura Gehring
