I love this pattern. I love most of the patterns you show even though on my limited income I can't afford the yarn normally. I am saving to purchase some of the yarn for a project for myself. I am 72 (almost 73) and have used several of the patterns with yarns I can afford to adapt them slightly and make shawls for nursing home residents. They don't look as nice because I have to use yarns like Caron One Pounder and RedHeart because of the way nursing homes do laundry. Again, I would like to thank you and your lovely designers for the gorgeous patterns because my nursing home residents love the items made for them.
This pattern is easy and the yarn is gorgeous! As a former hand dyer I know how lovely lyocell and Merino wool are...and together they are fantastic! I've woven a number of capes like this and so have plenty...but I think one more in the knit pattern is in order. Whoever the hand dyer is does beautiful work - I just love the colours!
Chandi, I’m 74 and haven’t knitted for around 40 yrs. I found crochet better for me. But watching your videos like this make me want to try it again. Love your work so much❤️❤️❤️
This is a beautiful beginner pattern that looks more complicated than it actually is. I love the clever technique of joining the front panels and then continuing to construct the back with no seams. ❤️😊👍
This is gorgeous, it looks like a Ruana! I love how versatile it can be. Thank you so much for demonstrating exactly how to join the 2 panels, I was getting a bit confused from the verbal directions, I am very much a visual learner! Thank you so much for sharing and making the tutorial and pattern! On my project list and saving the tutorial in my library!
This looks an amazing piece to knit. I just purchased some lightweight aqua & teal yarn yesterday, this pattern/project will be what I’ll make. Thanks so very much for sharing this pattern. I feel so fortunate to have found you, as you’ve provided some amazing patterns to make and you explain the process of the pattern so well to follow along with. Huge thanks 😊
I just finished crocheting a pink ruana and love it, so soft and comfy, now I want to try this pattern this year! Been working on challenging myself, especially with knitting because I've learned from videos mostly. But doesn't hurt to challenge myself crochet wise either, I love knitting and crocheting 😁🧶so many benefits to them
This beautiful pattern makes me want to learn how to knit. Your yarn is so delicious looking ... what a perfect combination! Thank You! Love your bloopers 😄 🌺
So beautiful and versatile to wear… love it 🥰 I am looking to learn to knit and this looks like something a beginner could attempt 🙏🏻 Love watching your videos… thank you for sharing 🙏🏻🥰
I am new to your channel. I love your energy and your beautiful patterns. I don’t knit, hopefully you can create a similar crochet pattern. Thanks for your tutorials. ♥️
I'm in love with this pattern. I don't know how to knit. Could you make a pattern that's in crochet?? I would be so delighted then I could make this for my Mom for Christmas. She would just be so in love with it.
Que precioso, justo lo que estaba buscando, encontré uno en una revista pero era cosiendo las uniones pero este me parece mas practico y hermoso, gracias.
Love it! Definitely tv knitting!! & It's something my knit worthy bff would love!!! (I just made her an oversized wrap out of some pearlescent fingering I got in the mystery bags in December... A really pretty tonal goldish brown....I have no idea what it was called. 😉) I knit, she wears... 😂🤣😂
I love this and have it in my to do pile once I get better at knitting. I would like to know if the top you are wearing in the video is one you knitted?
Hey Chandi, in addition to your beautiful pattern, you are wearing a gob-smackingly gorgeous sweater. Is your sweater a pattern that your fans could buy in addition to the cape/poncho?
@@ExpressionFiberArts I mean when I finish the 2 front parts and join them together and of yarn in one still loose while I am working with the other I just tied it up is it ok
Chandi I am knitting this now but what is the best way to seam up the side, I'm going to add pockets to inside panels so my Mother-in-law can place her phone .....
Interior pockets are a great idea! Mattress stitch would be a good seaming choice for this piece. Here's a video on how to do that: ua-cam.com/video/FjA61p_L2CE/v-deo.html
Im going to try this as my next project! Im a beginner knitter so im using basic DK yarn ( will be buying your beautiful yarn when im more experienced, its stunning!!! ) Is there a set number of rows im supposed to do or is it just however long id like it to be?
That's great! You'll find the full Mantlemist pattern at: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/mantlemist.html The written instructions tell you how many rows to knit and when to make the color changes.
The instructions for joining are pretty detailed, so I'd suggest downloading the full pattern at www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/mantlemist.html for complete instructions on the construction.
That information is included in the full pattern at www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/mantlemist.html It is 23 sts and 36 rows = 4" in body stitch pattern, unblocked.
Hi there, love this pattern but having problems tracking the pattern and the yarn as love the shades used..... do you know if that yarn is available in UK?
This is our Mantlemist pattern, which you can find at www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/mantlemist.html It uses 6 colors of our Luster Sport yarn: www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/sport/luster-sport.html Unfortunately, you can only buy this yarn from our website, but we do ship worldwide. Glad you like the design.
You could, but you'll want to swatch up your medium or bulky yarn to make sure you like how it looks, and then adjust your needle as needed, based on the gauge listed in the pattern.
Thank you for demonstrating how to do the join! I'm starting to try knits that involve multiple pieces, and so it's nice to find another technique. Also, excuse the random question, but are you tall? I am rather on the short side (5'3''), and sometimes wonder if the pattern size and whatnot will end up being more blanket-like than wearable. That wouldn't stop me, of course (love a good snuggly blanket-type thing), but I cannot gauge how large a finished product will be by pictures.
I have had to adjust patterns due to only being 5'2". With a pattern this easy you would just have to subtract the number of rows called for to your liking for both front and back panels. Hope this helps.
I adore this new pattern, but what I'm in love with is your sweater! Is the pattern on your website? I have to make both! Still have to do the Mysa.....Love ya!!!
I was wondering if there's anyway to make this bit with more spaced stitches...? Like, Cleary visible wholes in the patter so it would be more as a beach cover up
Sure, just find a knitting stitch pattern you love and then you can adopt it to this pattern. Just make sure you're getting the same size rectangles and you'll be golden. :)

Ola dias desde el pais chile para poder ver si se puede comprar su producto su
Hi Paula, yes, we do ship to Chile. 💕
Hey Chandi, in addition to your beautiful pattern, you are wearing a gob-smackingly gorgeous sweater. Is your sweater a pattern that your fans could buy in addition to the cape/poncho?
Absolutely! You can find that one here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/faie.html 💜
Its beautiful I did it but when I join the 2 front pieces the yarn of end of one piece how can I secure it
I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you talking about weaving in the tail end of your yarn?

I believe it was 30 inches. All of the dimensions are found here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/mantlemist.html#product-tab-description
