Remy Poncho

A great transition piece for fall when a coat is too much and a sweatshirt just doesn’t measure up! Great for indoors as well. This piece is a snap to knit and easy to throw on and look pulled together.

Purchase in my Etsy shop or on Ravelry.

More About the Yarn and Gauge

You will be knitting this sweater in a bulky weight. That means that the pattern is calling for a somewhat thicker yarn on bigger needles. Look for a yarn that gets 3.5 stitches per inch or 14 stitches over 4 inches. This label is a good example of a yarn that is a good fit for this pattern. In this tag we can determine that if you knit on a size 11 needle, you would be able to obtain 3-3.5 stitches per inch. If you knit on a size 10 needle, 3.5-3.75 sts would be the norm. Again, the needle size is only a suggestion as your knitting style may vary. See SWATCH for more details.
