You start with a spiraling, almost nautilus-like, stockinette tip, then work in stripes (...

Like the drifting magnolia leaves that litter our Louisiana landscapes, McNeedles’ Magnolia Leaves poncho will gently drape around your shoulders, lending a touch of warmth and style to any outfit.

If you think this looks a little bit like Melonaid, you are dead right! It’s a complete knock-off of the knit version. So retro, so cute.
