Cast on 330 sts with wood and 5 mm needles. Knit in pattern I and follow the colour sequence. At about 32 cm from cast-on (after the 4th row of navy), cast off 68 sts in the middle without working yarn and immediately cast on 68 new sts in their place. Cast off all sts at about 64 cm from cast-on.

Finishing

For fringes, cut strands of yarn about 30 cm long. Knot fringes at the bottom of the poncho (as shown in the schematic), about 26 in matching colours along lower edges of both front and back. Knot 4-5 strands together for each one.
