This pattern and yarn kit from Kraemer Yarns is deceptively simple – it’s just two rectangles! Knit in bulky yarn, it’s a quick project that is also good for knitters who want to give cables a try for the first time. You can see the video tutorial below.

Needles: Size US 10.5 (6.5mm).
Yarn: Kraemer Yarns Mauch Chunky, available in the Arrowhead Poncho kit
Additional Materials: 2 ring stitch markers, cable needle, tapestry needle for seaming and weaving in ends
Gauge: 14 stitches and 18 rows = 4″ (10cm)
The Arrowhead Poncho yarn kit is available here. (If you don’t see the color you’re after, it is currently out of stock. Please contact Kraemer Yarns for more info.)
You can add Arrowhead Poncho to your Ravelry queue here.
You can see all of the Mauch Chunky yarn colors here.
