Poncho Pattern

We are getting close to summer, but the nights are still cool so I chose a poncho knitting pattern for today’s freebie. It’s for beginners and as a matter of fact the instructions are from a vintage booklet titled Begin to Knit.

It’s an American Thread Co. Star Book No. 167. I’ve done a post for a knitted wrap or stole pattern from this same booklet. You can find it >>HERE<<.

The sizes are Small and Medium. The gauge is 4 sts=1 inch for size 10 needles. The pattern uses American Thread Company’s “Dawn” Knitting Worsted. That yarn is a 4 ply 100% Wool. The skeins came in 3½ to 4 ounces with 252 yards each.

You’ll find more information on this and other discontinued yarns on this page of the blog.

Download Instructions: Right-Click on the image. Select either “save link as” or “save image as” depending on what browser you are using. Or simply click on it, it will open in a new window and save it from there.

Summer Poncho

In addition to this vintage pattern, I found a pretty summer pattern called Lavender Wash.  It’s a DROPS Spring/Summer 2018 designs from Garnstudio.

It has all sizes and is perfect for a summer night.
