My current favorite part is the Bergalu poncho, on which so many of you have already cast an eye. There were namely already now and then small glimpses of the poncho and Instastories about it. The poncho I wear at the moment almost around the clock. The mini version for the Miss is also already in the works, I am very enchanted by the color petrol in this yarn combination. Look, on Instagram I had shown a close shot.

The Bergalu poncho is knitted with two threads on 7mm needles. So it slips off the needles in no time. The combination of Lusso and Bergamo I find so great! There are almost all colors in combination, although it is two manufacturers (namely Lamana and Lang Yarns). You could also use Cusi from Lamana instead of Lusso, but I like this slight melange effect that Lusso gives in combination with Bergamo. In the Instagram picture linked above you can see the effect I'm talking about in more detail.

The poncho is knitted quite simply from the long side up as a rectangle. So it's constructed a little differently than the checkerboard poncho, but it's just as simple. The seam you see here in the picture on the shoulder is created by knitting the bind-off edge left and right of the rectangle together. I've also drawn a diagram for this in the knitting pattern. I intentionally made the seam so nicely visible. You can also wear the poncho a little differently, and move this seam to the front.

The turtleneck is worked in rounds at the very end, doubling in length. It is then folded inward and fastened. Thus, the turtleneck gains a little strength and does not slouch around.
