CUORE PONCHO
Cuore - “heart” in Italian - is a modern take on a timeless motif. A simple, relaxed silhouette is paired with geometric hearts in a design that is playful, graphic, and very wearable.
A fun and entertaining knit, the poncho is worked flat as a rectangular panel, then folded in half widthwise and seamed at one shoulder. The finished piece has a comfortable amount of positive ease and can be worn two ways: with the seam on the shoulder as an asymmetrical piece or with the seam at the back.
Cuore features a lace panel along the edge with several lines of simple lace breaking up stockinette. The cast on and bind off edges are decorated with lace patterns as well. The rolled boat neck is achieved with naturally curling stockinette edging.
Instructions are both charted and written out.
