Cables and Vines Pattern

The Cables & Vines Poncho is a beautifully sculptural knit that blends cozy texture with elegant shaping. This pattern features a bulky silhouette with cable and lace motifs, a wide polo neck, and maygar-style sleeves, giving it that relaxed yet refined drape.

It’s knit in two pieces from the bottom up, then seamed at the sides to create subtle splits. The sleeves and neckband are picked up and worked after the shoulder seams are joined. The finished size is approximately 200cm wide, with a front length of 60cm and back length of 68cm.

Designed for Cleckheaton Midlands Merino 8 ply, it uses about 28 x 50g balls, and calls for:

• 4mm straight needles
• 4mm circular needles (40cm and 80–100cm)
• A cable needle and wool needle for finishing

It’s a great project if you’re looking to showcase stitchwork and enjoy a bit of structure in your knitwear. Want help picking yarn shades or pairing it with accessories?
