Well! How about this? I’m thrilled to introduce my latest published design, the Poincare Poncho. It is the cover piece for Wool Studio VII and I couldn’t be more delighted! I think you’ll agree that the entire collection is gorgeous and oh-so-knittable. You can see all the lovely pieces HERE.
Bell shaped and sweetly simple in form, the Poincare Poncho begs to be curled up in. But with a quirky 60’s vibe and wide center panel, she’s hip and modern too.
Worked from the top down, this poncho borrows from seamless yoke shaping techniques everywhere but its stand-out front cable panel which showcases diamond shaped twists that devolve into simple ropes and ribbing.
Poincare features ribbed openings so hands are still useful. Though the photo stylist chose to use the collar to create a draped neckline (which I think is very pretty), Poincare actually has a wide, fold-over ribbed collar.
Trendsetter Yarns New York was such a dreamy yarn to work with. It is 100% organic merino and soft and tender in the hand. It comes in a muted range of beautiful heathered colors.
I hope you’ll enjoy Poincare! Many thanks to Wool Studio and Harper Point Photography.
Love,
Cheryl
