I wanted to design a pattern for a poncho, but I wanted it to be bright and
airy. Found the perfect stitch by Theresa Higby and so today I'm going to teach
you how to knit the Higby Poncho. Hey, it's Denise again from Loomahat.com.
For a list of supplies and more information visit the website or the
description. And, special thanks to Carol from PromiseLearningATL.com and Laurie
Kopaczewski for covering the cost of closed captioning. I'll be using a large
gauge 41 peg loom and 200 yards of finger weight yarn.
Now let's cast on 40 pegs. we're going to knit using one single strand of yarn and
you're going to want to secure that to the anchor peg. I'm using a simple knot,
you can use a slip knot, if you're more comfortable. The direction that you go in,
is not going to matter. I'm going to be knitting to the right.
So take your working yarn and you're going to wrap all 40 pegs. You will
notice that I have two edge markers in gray and that I have marked every other
peg. This is going to help me follow my pattern. You don't need to do this, it is
optional. We are knitting flat so we're going to turn around. Go ahead
and knit that peg number 40 one more time. Pull on your working yarn and now
let's turn direction. So you're going to knit that peg and in all reality we are
going to knit the complete roll, so we're knitting all 40 pegs. I'm using the
Uwrap version of the knit stitch which means that I'm going to half wrap
the peg and knit-off, half wrap and knit- off. Continue knitting.
When you're back at peg number one, you're going to knit that peg three
times. So, one, two, that's an eWrap and a three is your last. Go ahead and pull on the
working yarn. You're done knitting your cast on, we're ready for row number
one. For Row one, you're going to do an e-Wrap knit stitch, then a drop stitch,
then your next one would be a purl, then a drop stitch and you're going to
continue that knit, drop, purl drop, until the last peg, which is peg number forty.
At that point, you will knit that peg three times. Let me show you how to do
that. You're going to slip that first peg, go to peg two and eWrap the peg, knit
off and wrap that peg again, because you're going to add a drop stitch. Bring
the working yarn down below the next peg with your hook. You're going to scoop up
that working yarn, create a new loop, take the old loop off, put the new one on.
You're going to pull on the string, that's your purl and now wrap the peg
again to create the drop stitch. Now, when you go to the next one, you're gonna do
like a figure eight and wrap that peg. That's your, you're repeating your knit
stitch so you knit off and then you wrap the peg again. Bring the working yarn
down, because we're gonna do a purl, scoop it up, create a new loop, take the old
loop off, put the new loop on, tighten and wrap it again to create your drop stitch.
Again, like a figure eight you, go to the next peg and you wrap it. So we're
repeating the knit, drop, purl, drop, knit, drop, purl, drop. You're going to continue
this two peg pattern, until you reach the last peg.
Remember that we're doing 40 pegs. So the reason I have marked my pegs, as you can
see, you have the slip, here you knit with a drop,
okay, knit, drop, here you did your purl and this loop you have above it right
here, that's your drop stitch, so knit, drop,
purl, drop and you're basically doing the same thing. it is a rib stitch, I
guess you can say, a rib stitch with a drop stitch. So just continue until you
get to the last peg and then you're going to knit that last peg,
peg number 40, three times.
Here's the last stitch, wrap and knit off and wrap, number two, knit off and your
last one, you're going to wrap which is number three and knit off. Now it's time
for Row 2. Here we're going to do a knit and purl, but before you work each
peg, you're going to remove the drop stitch. Only remove one drop stitch at a
time so here's the first one, we remove it and now we're going to knit this peg,
so wrap and knit off, because we're using the e wrap version of the knit stitch.
The next one we dropped the drop stitch, we remove it and now we're going to do a
purl stitch. So if you're following my little rubber bands, you'll notice that
here I did a knit, here I did a purl and it's like the reverse, right. It's, I'm
stacking a knit where I did a purl and I'm stacking a purl where I did a knit.
But the pattern remains. You remove a drop stitch, you do a knit, you remove a
drop stitch, you do a purl. So it's a rib stitch, you just have to make sure that
you remove the drop stitch before you do it and don't remove all of your drop
stitches and then do the knit, purl, it's not going to go well, trust me. It's best
if you just remove the drop stitch right before you knit that peg and continue to
your last peg which you want knit three times.
Now we're ready for Row 3. It's just the inverse of Row 1. Now you're going to
purl, drop, knit, drop.You can remove the knot from your anchor peg. Let's
start again, you're going to slip that first peg, you're gonna go to peg number
2 and this time you're starting with a purl, right, so go ahead and scoop up the
loop, take the old one off, put the new one on and pull. Now, you're gonna
wrap your peg in order to add a drop stitch. And this is going to be a knit, so
you're gonna wrap it, knit off and wrap it again, to create your drop stitch.
Now you're gonna bring it down and purl because again, you've swap your pattern
and now you're doing a purl with a drop stitch on top, going to the next one and
you're going to knit. So you wrap the peg, knit off and wrap it one more time, to
create that drop stitch and just like before you're gonna repeat that pattern
until you get to the last peg when you're going to then knit that peg three
times. Keep knitting
Now for row number four, it's time to remove your drop stitch and purl, knit,
purl, knit, just like before. So we slip the first stitch and we go to
the next one, remove the drop stitch, we're going to
purl that peg, remove the drop stitch and knit the next one. Again remove the drop
stitch, purl that peg, go to the next one
and knit. Keep knitting.
You're on your last peg, don't forget that you have to wrap this last peg
three times. Now this is the end of the four row, stitch pattern, What
you're going to do is these four rows, you're going to repeat them 14 more
times and that's gonna give you a total of 60 rows. Tthen it's time to start
with the reductions. It's really not as painful as it sounds. We're going to be
reducing two stitches before we start the next row. So we're going to move
these three loops with the hook. You're going to take the loop off of 40, 39 and
then peg 38 and in that order because it's really important. You're gonna
move them over, those two are going to be moved over. Those two stitches are going
to be removed and they're going to go on 36, right here and 37 and then peg 38 is
going to be your new edge. So you put that last loop right there. Stretch out
your stitch, your fabric and then knit off peg 36 and peg 37 and like I said
your new edge is peg 38. See if those two are the two stitch reductions and
personally I like to know my edge and so I'm going to move my rubber bands. Again,
this is not something you have to do, for me this just makes the easy, it just
makes the pattern easier and so I'm going to put my new edge color right
here. And, that is peg 38 and like I said,
you reduced by two stitches and now those two are empty and we're ready to
start our four row, stitch pattern again. Then you're going to reduce by two
stitches and repeat the four row stitch pattern, six more times. That will give
you a total of 88 rows. When you finish row 88, you have no more reductions and
now you will just repeat rows 1 through 4, three more times for a total of 100 rows.
That will leave you with a small poncho, for a larger one, just repeat rows 1
through 4 until you get your desired length. Now we're ready to bind off and
we're going to use the super stretchy bind-off. You're gonna take the working
yarn and you're going to measure the length of your project 2 times. Then
go ahead and get your scissors. I'm gonna leave myself a little extra and cut your
yarn. That extra isn't really necessary but just in case. You're gonna work
over these two pegs first, so from the top scoop up and through your loop, pull
the working yarn and then you're gonna go back to peg 1 and from the bottom
you're gonna scoop the working yarn down and through the loop and then things are
going to change from this point on. That's because it was the beginning, from
now on you're gonna skip a peg. So we started here with peg 1, now we're going
to skip peg 2 and scoop from peg 3. So skip peg two, get your hook and from the
top you're gonna scoop the working yarn up and through that loop. On peg three
and you're going to go back to the peg you skipped, which was two, right here
and then from the bottom, this time you're gonna scoop the working yarn down
and through the loop. Now you're going to go to the next peg. So you're going to
skip peg three and you're going to go to peg four and from the top you're gonna
scoop your working yarn up and then go back to the peg that you skipped which
was three. Put the working yarn over the existing loops and from the bottom scoop
down and through the loop and tug on your working yarn a little bit. And, you
can release a couple of the loops and tug on it again, then skip a peg and from
the top scoop up and through the loop. Go back to the one that you skipped and
from the bottom scoop down and pull the working yarn through the loop. You're
gonna repeat the process, skip a peg, from the top
scoop up and through go back to the peg that you skipped and from the bottom
scoop down and through feed your working yarn through that loop all the way and
continue the process. Now remember, you can remove a few of the loops as you
work your way through, which is why you don't really need as much yarn as you
normally would. Don't forget to tug on it just a little
bit, don't overdo it because you don't want it to bunch up. Alright, keep going.
All right, when you have the last two, you're gonna take your working yarn, put
it on the last peg and from the top you're gonna get your hook and scoop up
and through that last loop. Go back to the one you skipped and from the top
scoop down. Then come back to that last peg and you're gonna scoop up and
through and you're pretty secure you can now remove whatever loops you have still
on your loom including the last peg, you just remove it and you are done. Now the
next thing we need to do is to sew the two sides of the poncho together. I
decided to use a small model of the poncho to show you what I'm going to do.
So I'm taking the wider side and bending it down like this and the narrow one I'm
gonna take it and attach it to the side, like this and then I'm just gonna sew
from the bottom up. This is what the poncho will basically look like. So get
your sewing needle and in my case I'm going to get some locking stitch markers,
so I can put everything in place. I prefer to do this first, you can probably
use some paper clips or maybe even some pins or you could just freehand it. I
like to have it together first and then I'm gonna use some of the working yarn
that was leftover. I prefer a metal needle, so I'm going to thread my needle
and I'm going to start then from the tip of the two sides. I want to bring them
together and secure them. You will notice,
as you can see right here that there's some like knots along the edges and then
you have some really long straight ones, so find two little knots, one on each
side and we're going to sew from side to side and then create a knot right here,
on the very tip of the two sides. Now I'm going to remove my locking stitch marker
and then I'm going to continue to sew the project going up. I continue to
look for, you know, little knots. If you only find one on one side, that's fine,
but if you can find them on both sides that's even better. I'm using a blunt
needle, it's your best option because you don't want to split your yarn and this
is finger weight yarn so I just find that it's much easier if I have a blunt
needle. You can see that I continue to look for those little knots along the
fabric. Don't pull on your thread when you go to the next one, you want the
thread to be nice and loose. This is a lacy project and if you pull too much
you're gonna bunch, you're going to bunch up the fabric and you don't want to do
that. So just continue until you've made it all the way to the top of your poncho.
At the very top, you're going to want to bring the two sides together and just
like you did on the tip, you're going to want to make a nice knot up here. So
bring the two sides together and then make a knot and then you're going to
want to go ahead and weave in your ends. For me, I like to go down the project
and after I've done a few of them then I'll go up in the opposite direction.
I feel that it makes it safer. I make a knot and then I cut the excess yarn. All
right, that's my top, I'm gonna go hunt for my other end and as you can see here
is the stitch pattern which I totally love and I think you will too.
Find your other end and I've attached some hardware here to the end.
I love these tassels. By the way I do have a video on how to make the tassels
and I will put it in the description and at the website posting. Well guys I hope
you liked the project. Thank you - Teresa Higby for this beautiful stitch, don't
forget to share the video, that helps me a lot, like it, comment and if you haven't
already done so subscribe.
