Twice Reversible Ribbed Poncho by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas
Our new Poncho design is truly ‘twice reversible’: both the fabric and the shape can be flipped. This stitch pattern has two ‘right sides’—versatile! We also added instructions for a nifty hybrid graft/seam for true reversibility. Wear your poncho point-in-front for relaxed ‘boho’ style or point-in-back for a little more polish. Options upon options!
This poncho shape doesn’t follow the usual conventions of sizing (bust/waist/hips)—it’s more about scale. We designed this poncho in two sizes so your result will be comfortable and flattering. The two keys to the fit are the neckline and the back/arm length. The width of the rectangle determines where it hits—we like just at the bent elbow, which is also just above the waist.
