An Autumn Poncho to Take You Through the Winter

It may not be cold quite yet.  But the evenings are getting chillier and the air holds the whispers of dried leaves and cider to come.  This month's project might take a little while to make, but it will help keep out the cold whether you are watching a football game or the boss keeps the a/c up to high at work.

I have probably already mentioned how much I like cables.  It's not just the texture, but the sense of movement that they seem to hold even when they are firmly stitched onto the my clothing. I also prefer not to have to sew a lot of pieces together at the end of a project.  With my luck I end up loosing a piece and have to remake it, or two pieces  that are supposed to be the same size do not end up being so.

To answer these tendencies, this poncho is knit in the round from the neck down, and then the collar is knit from the neck up.  Cables make up the increases in the body and double sided cables sneak in and decorate the collar.

And where in the world did the name Oxycoccos come from, you ask?  The color and the pattern of the cabling reminded me of cranberries.  Oxycoccos, according to Wikipedia is the subgenus for the cranberry plant and gives it kind of a fun jazzy feel to me.

If you would like a pdf of this pattern and have a Ravelry account, a copy can be found here.

If you would prefer to get one through Etsy, it can be found here.

Feel free to change the yarn, gauge, or size to fit your needs.  Just please do not try to sell this pattern as your own.

If you have any problems that you think that I might be able to help you with, email me at GridMammalCrafts@gmail.com .  And without further ado, the pattern.

  Notes:

·         One does not actually need all the lengths of needles suggested, but it will sure make this project easier.

·         Use a provisional cast-on with the 16” size 11 needles, then change to the size 9 to start knitting.

·         You can take out three of the stitch markers after the work has been established, but leaving them in will help you from making mistakes.

·         Remember all bind-offs need to be loose.

·         The design is meant to be loose, if you like a tighter poncho try making a size smaller.

·         Stitches outlined in red denote stitch sequences that are repeated in certain situations.  Check the written instructions for the correct count.

·         Stitches outlined in green are representative of repetitive knit stitches.  Check the written instructions for the correct stitch count.
