Cleo Skirt/Poncho

Cleo is a fabulous, versatile garment that can be worn in different ways as a skirt or as a poncho (with the ribbing making the roll neck). Cleo is really interesting to make as it includes several techniques such as circular knitting, ribbing, cabling and short row shaping. With only one seam to finish and the border integrated into each row, Cleo is an addictive knit!

Knitted on 4 mm straight, 3 mm circular needles plus a cable needle.

Tension: 20 sts and 36 rows to 10 cm square over Garter Stitch using 4 mm needles.
