The Design

“Could this be any more Churchmouse?”

The beloved Easy Folded Poncho is essentially one long, stockinette stitch rectangle—a great starting point for lots of variation! Using our original pattern and a free adaptation, we’ve added a ribbed cowl neck to this timeless favorite. It’s perfect for a bit of extra coziness!

We knit this Easy Folded Poncho in a tweedy, black shade of Rowan Fine Tweed Haze. This DK-weight yarn is a fascinating blend of South African mohair and super-fine alpaca, supported by polyamide, cotton, and polyester. All along its bouncy, chainette-style strand, contrasting flecks of fiber peek out of a romantic, fuzzy halo. Warm and sooo soft, Fine Tweed Haze is such a fun yarn—and perfect for a cuddly poncho!
