Goddess by Stitch Diva
Knitting Pattern

Goddess is a universally flattering knit that hugs your body in all the right places while loosely draping over the bust to accentuate (or create the illusion of!) an hourglass figure.

Knit from the top down in stockinette stitch, Goddess is a try-on-as-you-go design that provides opportunities to learn a few new tricks, yet still affords lots of easygoing "TV knitting". Incorporating unique increases, tubular cast on and bindoff, small Kitchener stitch seams, and a simple pattern stitch border, our pattern instructions will introduce you to the tricks of a knitting Goddess as you create your garment, then transform you into a style Goddess once you put it on.

The pattern has finished sizes of XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X) to fit very generously at bust, with a slight negative ease at waist and hips.
To fit actual bust: 33 1/2 (35 1/2, 38, 40 1/2, 44, 48, 52)

Pattern can use any drapey, fingering-weight yarn with a guage of 27 sts = 4" and a yardage requirement of 745yds (795, 915, 1025, 1145, 1325, 1500).

Knitted Poncho Pattern - Art Nouveau - Stitch Diva

Reminiscent of a bohemian garment from the early 20th century, this knitted poncho also alludes to the earthy styles of the 70’s. Great as a light summer cover, the poncho also works well as evening wear for any season. A fine, hand-dyed yarn lends depth and dynamism to this simple design knitted up in the round on chunky needles. Finished with a beaded neck cord, this lacy poncho delivers romance from a bygone era.

Floral Mini Poncho Crochet Pattern - Stitch Diva

This feminine, breezy mini-poncho is perfect for warmer weather. It is great for providing an additional layer over a skimpy top or halter- it provides a flirty "peek-a-boo" transparency and a sporty fit for an active summer day or night. Longer in the front and back, the poncho is shorter about the arms to allow maximum range of movement. Inspired by the gorgeous mini ponchos by a leading fashion designer, this poncho can be your own custom fashion statement in the colour and fiber of your choice. Best of all, the poncho is very easy to make, and can be completed in just 5 or 6 hours!

Asymmetric Poncho Crochet Pattern - Stitch Diva

One pattern - multiple ponchos! Choose a wooly thick and thin yarn for cold weather wear, or a bulky weight ribbon yarn for warmer weather and evenings:
For warmer weather and evenings this poncho is the perfect "barely-there layer" for summer and looks great with jeans and a skimpy tank top or as a cover-up at the beach.
For cold weather: Wear this poncho with a pair of boots and skirt or jeans for a warm and wonderful way to look good when the weather turns chilly.
No matter which yarn you use to work it, the poncho has a sensuous feel, a luxurious drape and looks woven instead of crocheted due to usage of Tunisian (Afghan) crochet techniques and a very large hook. Best of all, the poncho is SUPER EASY to make, you can finish the poncho in a single weekend!

Hiawatha Poncho Crochet Pattern - Stitch Diva

This crocheted poncho is rustic, warm and sexy - a unique combination that will have you looking great and feeling cozy as the weather begins to chill. The poncho looks great as a casual statement over a simple sweater with boot-cut jeans, yet would also work with a suede skirt and knee-high boots for a dressier look. It works up fast using a heavy worsted yarn and is crocheted in the round from the top down, in order to provide optimum fit and almost zero finishing.

An interesting and simple technique is used for weaving separate strands of yarn into the fabric while the poncho is being worked. So go ahead! Grab yourself some yarn, a hook and settle down by the fire with a friend or with a few of your favourite movies. You'll not only have fun, but you will quickly end up with a poncho that expresses that eternal free spirit within.
