Stone Point

Stone Point is knit flat in two identical pieces. Once complete, the front and back are joined at the shoulders using a 3-needle bind off and the neckband is worked in the round. The garment is easily customizable; you may lengthen the piece by working additional repeats of the Flame Chevron Lace. At the specified gauge, each skein of yarn will work approximately 1.5 repeats (36 rows). You can add additional repeats for width by adding a multiple of 7 sts + 4 sts to the cast on number. Be sure to purchase enough yarn to accommodate your modifications. Unless otherwise noted, slip all markers as you come to them. **YARN:** Recommended Yarn: Kelbourne Woolens Mojave (60% pima cotton, 40% linen); 185 yds/50gm skein): smoke gray, 6 skeins. **GAUGE:** 18 sts and 20 rows = 4” (10 cm) in Flame Chevron Lace on larger needles, after blocking. **NEEDLES:** 1 – US 5 (3.75) 40” (100 cm) circular. 1 – US 6 (4.25 mm) 16” (40 cm) circular. 2 – US 7 (4.5 mm) 40” (100 cm) circulars. 1 – US 7 (4.5 mm) dpn. **NOTIONS:** Darning needle, 2 markers (optional). **SIZE:** 34.25” (87 cm) wide and 21.5” (54.5 cm) long.

BE SURE TO WET BLOCK YOUR SWATCH. I used 3 skeins to knit the front, 3 for the back, and the final (7th) skein to work the neck. The poncho will look short before you block it, but if you go by your blocked swatch gauge you will be aok. -Courtney *ERRATA 2/28/2017:* Stone Point Lace Pattern Row 21: K5, * yo, k1, k2tog, k4; rep from * to end, ending final repeat as yo, k1, k2tog, k3.
