Material:

To sew a wool poncho :

• 135cm wool fabric with a minimum width of 140cm
• 50cm heavy jersey or knit fabric
• 1 pair of  scissors

Step 1

CUT OUT & UNRAVEL

Cut out 1.35m. of your wool fabric. Unravel 2 sides by 2 cm, leaving the edges (lisière - see picture) intact. During the last step, they will be used for the finishing touch for the bottom of your poncho.

Step 2

PREPARE THE NECKLINE

Fold your fabric in 4. Depending on the size of your head, cut a small arc on the corner for the neckline. To help you, make a mark +/- 10cm on each side of the angle. You will have a circle of +/- 20cm once your piece is unfolded.
