For the beginner, this pattern proves to be a slightly trickier knit whilst still remaining basic enough to complete quickly. This pattern is a generic pattern suitable for use with most machines.

Therefore regardless of your ability or your machine you can be sure that this will perform very well indeed even if you are a beginner.

You will need wool, which will work out the correct gauge. This is around an inch for every sixth row and 4 and a half stitches. For this there is only one size, however do not worry. This will fit most people. Should you wish to make it a different size, then get your measurements and go for it. This looks good on people of all shapes, and sizes.

The key to this design is that it is actually split into four different parts. The knitter should keep this in the mind to ensure they understand why they may feel their garment doesn't look quite like an easy machine poncho knitting pattern.

Now starting at the neck go for thirty stitches through using used wool. Now reapply the calculations on completing on the left hand side of the garment. Now K1 and knit another row, then knit another row, then RC for around two hundred times. You should choose to end at around one hundred and eighty stitches.

Now repeat the same step as you did for the first piece for another four pieces. Remember this is a piece which comes in four parts. At this stage we are considering placing them all together.

If you want a longer poncho at this stage feel free to add more rows. Remember the more rows you have, the longer the poncho and to make the poncho shorter you just have to remove rows one at a time.

Now you have to loop the sides and duplicate the procedure across all four. And to make the fringe just twist the wool with a magazine, and the pass scissors along through the pages. Now K1, K2tog, and correct the perimeter.

If you're a beginner, or an inexperienced knitter this pattern is an ideal way to refine your skills. Good luck with this machine poncho knitting pattern!
