• Product description

  Bold geometric motifs reminiscent of woven wool blankets give this Shelter poncho lasting appeal. Worked from charts in textured knit, purl, and slipped stitches, Amulet begins with shoulder shaping and is worked downward to the center of the front and back. Consecutive bands of twisted stitches create a horizontal braid effect to divide the motifs. The lower pieces are knit from the hem up and joined to form a decorative ridge. This light, warm garment can be pivoted 90 degrees and worn with the side ribbing as the front hem for an alternate look.

  Designer: Norah Gaughan

  Collection: Winter 2015

  CONSTRUCTION

  • The garment is constructed in four pieces. The back shoulders are worked separately while the back neck is shaped, and then

    joined for the top back and worked down to the garment center. The front shoulders are picked up and knit from the back shoulders, worked separately while the neck is shaped, and then joined for the top front and worked down to the garment center. The lower front and back are worked from the bottom up. The lower front and back are then joined to the upper front and back at the center of the garment using Joinery Bind Off from the RS, to create a decorative ridge. The side ribbing and neckband are picked up and worked after garment assembly.
