Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight, 100% cotton, 800 yards
• Needles: US 9 (5.5 mm) circular needles, 32 inches
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 160 stitches onto your circular needles. Ensure that your stitches are not twisted before joining in the round.
2. Join in the Round: Carefully join your stitches in the round. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
3. Rounds 1-10: Knit in stockinette stitch (knit every stitch) for 10 rounds. This creates the base of your poncho.
4. Round 11: Begin your lace pattern. *Knit 2 stitches, yarn over (yo), knit 2 together (k2tog); repeat from * to the end of the round. This creates eyelets in your fabric.
5. Rounds 12-20: Continue to knit in stockinette stitch for 9 more rounds.
6. Round 21: Start the next lace section. *Knit 3 stitches, yo, k2tog; repeat from * to the end of the round.
7. Rounds 22-30: Knit in stockinette stitch for 9 rounds.
8. Round 31: Continue with the lace. *Knit 4 stitches, yo, k2tog; repeat from * to the end of the round.
9. Rounds 32-40: Knit in stockinette stitch for another 9 rounds.
10. Bind Off: Once you have completed the rounds, bind off your stitches loosely to ensure the edge of your poncho remains flexible.
11. Create Tassels: Cut lengths of yarn measuring 12 inches. Group 4 strands together, fold them in half, and attach them along the bottom edge of the poncho at 2-inch intervals. Trim the tassels to your desired length for a finished look.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Mystic Dreamcatcher Boho Poncho. Enjoy wearing your beautiful handmade creation and let your bohemian spirit shine!
