Necessary materials:

4 skeins of Silk Pearl yarn;
knitting needles 4.5 mm;
hook 4 mm;
loop holders.

The total volume of the product is designed for size S.

The mesh pattern is performed according to the instructions provided:

2) Purl row 2: 1 knit stitch + 1 purl behind the back wall + 2 knit stitches together. Then repeat 1 purl behind the back wall + 2 knits together until the last 1 purl behind the back wall.

The cape pattern looks like this.

Knitting instructions:

1) We start from the back. Use knitting needles to cast on 140 stitches without tightening.

2) We knit with a 35.5 cm mesh pattern.

3) In the last row we knit 49 loops according to the pattern and transfer them to the holder.

4) Close off the next 42 loops, and tie the remaining 49 and transfer them to the holder.

5) Move on to the front part of the product. We knit in the same way as the back, only at a height of 30.5 cm. In the 88th row we make a cutout for the neckline. We do it as follows: we knit the first 55 loops, then attach the second ball and close the central 30 loops very loosely from it. We tie the row to the end.

6) Now we knit each part from different balls, closing for the neckline on both sides 1 loop in each row 6 times.

7) Transfer the remaining 49 loops on each side to the holder.

We sew the shoulder seams by closing the loops using three knitting needles.

9) Sew the side seams, leaving armholes for the sleeves.

10) On the front side of the product, we crochet 2 rows with a half-column along the bottom edge and along the sleeves.

11) We tie the edges of the neckline in one row with a half-column.

The knitted cape with a mesh pattern is ready. Now it can take pride of place in its creator's wardrobe.

How to sew a poncho: we take into account all the nuances

There are several points in sewing a poncho that directly affect the final result. This is taking measurements to create a pattern, choosing fabric, color and style of the future item.

Are measurements needed?

The main indicator on which the pattern is based will be the chest circumference. Therefore, taking measurements is mandatory.

On a note!
To measure chest circumference, pass the measuring tape so that it covers the back of the shoulder blades and passes through the top of the chest in front.

You will also need the following measurements:

arm length (measured from the top of the shoulder to the wrist);
Waist;
shoulder (measured from the base of the neck to the shoulder joint);
neck circumference (measured at the lowest point).

Attention!
Don't forget to add a couple of centimeters to the measurements you received for a loose fit.

Selecting fabric for a poncho

Another important point is the choice of fabric. It directly depends on what time of year the selected model is intended for. For cold weather, warm, dense fabrics are better suited: drape, wool, velvet. For lightweight options, choose linen, silk, satin . For those new to sewing, for the first pattern, it is better to choose a fabric that does not require much skill in finishing the edge.

On a note!
For the winter model, you can choose a fabric that is not very thick; just duplicate it with a lining.

Color and style play an important role

Next, decide on the style and color. This can be a semicircular model or a traditional rectangle. With a hood or a collar. With and without sleeves. A bright item or one decorated with sequins and beads will look more elegant. Everyday clothes can be trimmed with fringe. An effective move would be to finish it with a contrasting material.

A few tips for needlewomen

Sewing a poncho is half the battle done. It still needs to be properly combined with other clothes and shoes. Here are some recommendations for using this wardrobe item:

When putting on a poncho, try to wear models with heels. This will give your figure more slimness and stature.
When wearing colorful clothes, take a plain poncho. Wear an item made from scarves with plain options.
When choosing a fabric for sewing a summer version, take one that is more airy.
The poncho sleeves can be knitted or made with clasps.
The neckline can be redrawn from the finished item that fits you best.
The poncho can be belted. A contrasting belt will look especially interesting.

As you have already seen, this thing is very beautiful, functional and easy to implement. It is perfect for pregnant women. Will serve as an elegant addition to an evening outfit .
Will warm you up in chilly weather. And most importantly, it will replenish your wardrobe without extra effort and expense. Imagine how your heart will be warmed by praise for your appearance and skillful hands. Even if you have never held a needle in your hands, take a risk and you will succeed. What to wear with chinos? What to wear with women's khaki pants?

Edge processing

Before sewing the cape, cut according to the finished pattern. After stitching, the edges are processed with an overlocker. Since there is not always access to an overlocker, the following types are used to obtain beautiful and neat seams:

A special seam called “bias tape”.
Finish the edges of the fabric using a sewing machine using the zigzag stitch mode.
Use a linen stitch.

When using the last type of seam, allowances of at least three centimeters should be made. Also, processing will be required for the edges that will not be used in the seams. Here you will need to fold the fabric and stitch it on a sewing machine. The same applies to the cuts on the hood. If you plan to decorate the product, then sew a satin ribbon along the edge.

Some types of fabric do not require overlaying - the threads do not fall apart along the cut line. At the same time, the fabrics are warm and look beautiful in the finished product.

Materials tools for work

Making a product such as a poncho requires the use of the following tools:

Textile. Selected in accordance with the future model.
Sewing needle.
Threads.
Soap or a special marker for applying cutting marks to fabric.
Sewing scissors.
Buttons. You can also prepare beads, ribbons, and other decorative ornaments if you want to make not a banal cape, but a fashion accessory.
Overlock. If there is no equipment, then use a special foot for a sewing machine, which acts as an overlocker. This is necessary for processing the edge of the product.
Iron. Will be used to smooth out individual parts.
Measuring tape. If there is none, then a ruler is used.
Sewing machine for connecting all parts into a single whole.
