In the spring I really want variety, especially with regard to new items in the wardrobe. A great alternative to a light coat is a woolen poncho with a high collar, which is easy to sew, and without a pattern!
You will need:
► knitted fabric;
► thread for sewing;
► ruler for patchwork;
► Portnovsky crayon;
►usual ruler;
► scissors for cutting;
► thimble;
►portnovsky pins;
► hand needle for sewing;
► centimeter tape
How to sew a plus size cloak without a pattern
Step 1. Cutting the knitted fabric
Collar - approx. 102 x 54 cm 1x
Poncho Detail - approx. 154 x 114 cm 1x
(allowances are already taken into account in the given sizes).
Step 2
Fold the collar detail across in half with the front side inwards. Start short sections at a distance of 1 cm and overcast on overlock.
Step 3
The poncho part is folded in half, first across and then along. Draw a front neckline 6 cm deep and 12 cm wide.
Step 4
Lay out the poncho in length and draw a neckline on the back with a width of 12 cm and a depth of 2 cm. Cut the neck.
Step 5
Turn the collar to the front side and fold in half along the wrong side inwards. Chop open sections with pins.
Step 6
Insert the collar evenly and thread the poncho into the part with the front side to the front side. Overcast seam allowances on overlock.
