Deva Knit Poncho Top Digital Pattern

A cozy, dramatic, wrap-yourself-up poncho, now sized XS through 6X.

Some garments just make you feel good. Deva is one of them. She drapes instead of clings, wraps instead of fits, and pairs with everything from your favorite jeans to the leggings you secretly live in. The batwing silhouette moves the way you move. The turtleneck is generous enough to burrow into. And the whole thing is built from humble ribbed stitches that quietly do all the work.

We first designed Deva years ago, and we have brought her back with fresh eyes, corrected counts, and a size range that finally reflects what we believe: the pleasure of wrapping yourself in something soft and dramatic belongs to every body. Ten sizes. XS through 6X. From a 28 inch bust all the way to 64.

This is slow, satisfying, take-along knitting. Knit flat in cozy pieces and seamed together, Deva is patient and portable, the kind of project you reach for when you want the rhythm of the needles as much as the finished thing.
