Notes:
One does not actually need all the lengths of needles suggested, but it will make this project easier.
Use a provisional cast-on with the 16” size 11 needles, then change to the size 9 to start knitting.
The design is meant to be loose, if you like a tighter poncho try making a size smaller.
Stitch sequences outlined in (red) denote rows or segments of the chart that are repeated in the round. Stitch sequences outlined in {green} denote repeats that are simplified from the chart. Check the written instructions for the correct count.
When stitch counts change, the new count is written in (in blue italics).
