Spin-Stitch Poncho Using Isager Alpaca 2

Spin-Stitch Poncho Using Isager Alpaca 2

“Not lace, but so lace-like!”

We first used this traditional Estonian stitch in a scarf pattern for the 2016 LYS Tour. Not lace, but so lace-like! Not cabled, but twisted by ‘spinning’ a cluster of stitches 180°! Delighted with the simple but dramatic results, we couldn’t wait to use this stitch in a bigger way. It’s the perfect twist on our favorite poncho.

See the Knitter's Notes for a tip on gauge.

Shown in Isager Alpaca 2

We chose Isager Alpaca 2 for this project for two reasons: alpaca and wool. The alpaca offers softness, drape and a bit of haze, and the wool substance and strength. In other words, perfection! And in the garment size you won't believe the oomph factor―a pleasure to knit and even more pleasurable to wear!

Yarn Source

STIX yarn

[BLOCKED] Poncho: S/M, approx. 22½ x 51"/57 x 130cm. L/XL, approx. 25½ x 57"/65 x 145cm.

Approx. 460 (920, 875, 1080) yds/420 (840, 800, 988)m lace-weight or fingering-weight yarn (lace-weight will be more sheer).
Poncho, S/M:
Shown in grey Isager Alpaca 2 (270 yds/247m each), Color 4S.
Poncho, L/XL: Not shown.

US 8 (5.0mm) needle, or size to obtain gauge.
One double-point needle (DPN) 2-3 sizes smaller than gauge needle.
Stitch markers, including a locking marker.
Darning needle to finish.
Approx. 54 (72, 50, 56) fork blocking pins (or twice as many T-pins) for pinning scallops; blocking wires or extra pins for ends.
Poncho: 7 (8) small buttons; sewing needle and matching thread.

Approx. 24 sts/24 rows = 4"/10cm in pattern after blocking.
Note: It’s a good idea to knit—and block—a swatch, not for exact gauge, but to be sure you like the fabric.
