This one’s for the new knitters, the prodigal knitters, and the more seasoned knitters who are struggling with what I affectionately call “pandemic brain”. This FREE pattern from Berroco is a very simple, very beginner-friendly poncho/wrap. It’s basically a big rectangle that’s seamed up the side.

Nothing fancy, bust the basics …. I’ve linked to video tutorials for all of the skills:

- Stitches: Ribbing (knitting & purling in the same row) {Knit Stitch, Purl Stitch}
- Finishing: Seaming (mattress stitch) & Weaving in the Ends
- Other: Fixing Mistakes
