Well I got a wiggle on and my poncho (begun this summer) is ready to wear for this winter – yay!
apologies for the following photos of a very unphotogenic me, and taken by the “point & click” husband. One day, I’ll actually look presentable for photos, but you just have to put up with what I looked like on the day (including my trainers with scrappy laces).
I followed this pattern
(also marketed by Sirdar) and used this yarn.
I’m a UK size 14 and measure 1.74m so I could have saved yarn (and time) by knitting a smaller size, but I cast on for the size XXXL as I wanted it to be as big and baggy as possible. I changed the cable pattern, and it took approx 650g of yarn.
If I decided to knit it again, I would go down a couple of sizes (to make quicker work of it) because the neck turned out rather wide but I love it nonetheless.

Great job with this 🙂 and you look wonderful too!
aww thanks Sharon ^^
It looks perfect for the weather, very cheerful and cosy.
very cosy! just been out for a walk with the husband, dressed exactly as in photo lol) and it kept me feeling nice & snug.
Love your smile!
Looks pretty, practical and very cosy. Space for lots of layers.
I love those colours and making it so big and baggy means it looks really cosy and you can wear as many layers as necessary underneath.
You did a magnificent job. I admire your cables. Well done, you.
I wish I could master the art for knitting and cables.
Looks great and it’s nice to see you too.
It’s wonderful!! I prefer baggy to close fitting, so I probably would have gone up a size too. Hmm, wonder if I have any yarn to use for one myself. LOL
Beautiful, nice comfy and cosy. Such lovely colours
