- Light as a rippleThe pattern opens with two lines: a poncho light as a ripple on the shore, and fishes playing in the waves. Sporður means fishtail.
- Gulf stream and light greyA sea-toned gulf stream body with the yoke pattern and the collar in light grey — the Bluegreen colourway of Védís Jónsdóttir’s design.
- Shaped front and backDecreases at centre front and centre back, every other round from the hem to the yoke, shape the poncho — the photo shows the pointed front.
- A tall ribbed collarThe collar is 12 cm of light 2×2 rib in light grey, and the hem starts with a light seed stitch rib.
- Bluegreen, or peachThe pattern also has a peach colourway, golden blush with white. Keep the gulf stream, or pick any Plötulopi shade in the colour picker at no charge.

What is Plötulopi?
Ok, so I’ve done this pattern 3 times now and it just gets better and better. I’ve done both colors shown and did one in plum that , to me , looks better than the kit colors!
I completed this for a Christmas present and it turned out lovely! The pattern was simple to follow once I figured out working with plutolopi ( thanks help desk). I did change it up in that I didn't want a turtleneck collar, so I just stockette stitched a few inches, binded ( bound?) Off , and let the collar have a slight roll giving it a softer collar. The picture is before blocking.
Can’t wait to make this!
