The Valley Yarns
Polyphemus Kit includes the PDF pattern download and the four colors of Hampden
yarn needed to knit this striped poncho.
Polyphemus is a stylish poncho perfect for layering that’s knit in Valley Yarns
Hampden, a luxurious blend of baby alpaca, Merino wool, and silk. Hampden has
incredible drape and softness that is perfect for a flowing garment like
Polyphemus. This garment is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up with a
three-needle bind-off joining the front and back at the shoulders and side
seams. The funnel neck is added last, providing an extra cozy touch and turned
hems give a polished finish to the poncho. This beginner-friendly project is a
wonderful way to jump into garment knitting with an easy, relaxed fit and
simple shape that’s also a beautiful and useful wardrobe staple.
