This poncho is made by knitting a rectangle. Then you seam the Cast-On edge to part of the longer edge to make the shape of the Poncho.

At first, I made this pattern in alpaca blend yarn, and I tried it in silk yarn with larger gauge. I like both result, and I made two patterns (in alpaca and in silk)
