Valley Yarns Designer Series presents Weekender, a cozy accessory to add to your wardrobe, one that you’ll want to keep handy for those chilly autumn days using Wachusett. Knit flat with fun cable panel, and stitches are then picked up along one side edge of the cable panel and worked even in stockinette stitch.

Weekender by Tian Connaughton is a versatile layering piece that will add cozy warmth to any outfit. Knit flat in the Merino and cashmere blend Wachusett, this garment will feel luxuriously soft and warm. This poncho begins with the cable panel, with stitches picked up along one side and worked even in stockinette stitch. One short seam joins the second edge of the cable panel to the body of the piece and creates a garment that will become a fast favorite.

The interesting construction will make this especially fun to knit. Valley Yarns Wachusett is a gorgeous blend of Merino wool and cashmere. Transform this luxurious, worsted weight yarn into this fabulous cape/poncho! The cable panel is charted and written out.
