Ivy Poncho Pattern

designed by Louisa Harding

I made this fun lace poncho with size 7 needles and 1,024 yards of Wool-Ease worsted weight yarn in Forest Heather.

This poncho was love at first sight. :)

I made the medium size, but a bit smaller: 15 fewer sts in the plain st section, and a total of 12 reps of the leaf pattern. The finished poncho measures 24” from shoulder to bottom of leaf edging.

My lace leaf edge turned out a little riffly, which I like heaps.

I was concerned that it would be too long if I followed the pattern exactly, but the next time I make this poncho, I will go with a light gray wool worsted and make it full length.
