Great Falls Poncho Knitting Pattern

March 1, 2017 By admin 2 Comments

Great Falls Poncho-One Dollar Wednesday with Marly BirdThis week's pattern is the Great Falls Poncho. This is a sister knit project to the Mountain Mist Poncho.

Just like with the Mountain Mist Poncho this is designed as  large rectangle that you hold together with buttons. There is no shaping in the project, the difficulty of this project is in working the cables and lace.

Red Heart 2016 FREE eBooks

As we move into spring weather you will love this as a quick piece to throw on on cool nights. When selecting your yarn for this project you will want to pick something that will make the cable stitches pop. A yarn with wool will help to make the stitches stand out. Take a look at some of my suggestions below for other yarn suggestions.

Great Falls Poncho Yarn Options:

  • Red Heart Heart and Sole
  • Stroll Sock Yarn at Knit Picks

Entrelac shawl in gray and purple, featuring textured stitches, with a person draping it over their shoulders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of project is the Great Falls Poncho?

So here's the thing… the Great Falls Poncho is a knitting pattern that's designed like a big rectangle. You just hold it together with buttons when you're done!

Is this poncho hard to make?

Honestly… the shaping is super easy since it's just a rectangle, but you'll want to be comfortable with working cables and lace stitches for this one. It's listed as intermediate.

When is the best time to wear this poncho?

Yes! As the weather gets cooler, this is a perfect little piece to just throw on. It's great for those chilly evenings when you need a little extra warmth.

What kind of yarn works best for this pattern?

You'll want a yarn that really makes those cable stitches pop… a yarn with wool content is usually a great choice for that! Take a peek at the yarn suggestions I've included.

Is this poncho similar to any other patterns?

It sure is! This Great Falls Poncho is like a sister knit to the Mountain Mist Poncho. They're both designed as large rectangles held together with buttons.

How to Crochet the Playful Penguin Blanket

February 27, 2017 By admin 3 Comments

Red Heart offers the Playful Penguin Blanket as a FREE pattern on their website. It is the perfect choice for a baby blanket. Post Stitches in the pattern create texture that any baby will love to play with. As you work the pattern you will see that the stitches resemble what you would see in a basketweave. If you haven't worked front post double crochet stitches before I will show you exactly how to do it in the pattern video (which you can see below).
