This pattern was sent to me by a fellow Darn Good Yarner,
Eric. At first, he sent me a picture showing me a picture. I
asked him if I could share it with all of you on facebook
(www.facebook.com/dgyarn). Well, within 1 day the picture
I posted of this ponchette had 66 likes and 20 comments.
Holy moly! (what is Moly anyway?) So, Eric said he would be
happy to gift us with the pattern. Here it is! It’s amazing
people like this that make running Darn Good Yarn so, well,

Pattern
Pattern: Using two strands of fingering held together, Cast on 104 sts on 16 inch
needle. Join to form circle, being careful not to twist. K1, P 1 rib for two rounds. Then
work eyelet round: (YO, P 2 tog) around. Purl 1 round. Drop
second strand of fingering and now work with only one strand.
Begin poncho shaping. You will now alternate rounds of fingering
and silk. Do not cut yarns. All increases are done in the fingering rounds, silk rounds are just knit around. The increases are
paired at four points around.
Round 1: With fingering (Knit 1 and put pin marker IN that stitch,
YO,
Knit 25, YO) 4 times....end by creating a YO with the fingering
and "catching" it by twisting the silk around.
Round 2: With silk. Knit around.
To continue shaping, work YO increases on either side of marked
"seam" stitches as established in Round 1 on every fingering
round.
When there are 73 stitches between markers the shaping is
complete.
With fingering, Purl 1 round. Then knit 1 round.
Again using the double
strand of fingering,
LOOSELY bind off IN
PURL.
Still with double strand
single crochet backwards ( crab stitch )
around entire
edge. Cut yarn.
Weave in any cut
ends.
Make twisted cord out
of silk and weave
through eyelets at
neck edge.
