Lofty, a delightful poncho to knit.
This is another knit kit that offers two patterns in one. First create a rectangle to be worn as shawl or create a single seam that turns your shawl into a poncho. Wear it also long or doubled up as a cozy cowl.
Knit mostly in garter stitches where the yarn really shines and makes your project look like you used a special stitch pattern. The final border is knitted in a simple wavy pattern that adds a bit of charm.
