Flattering for any body type and available in children’s to adult plus size, the Aria Poncho is sure to become one of your favorite handmade pieces! The Aria Poncho is great for layering over long sleeves or short sleeves and it is multi seasonal! You could easily wear this poncho, spring, summer and fall! Maybe even in the winter if you live in a warmer climate!

This Poncho looks more complicated than it is! Once you get the hang of the row repeats and get into a groove, you will love making this poncho! The construction is super simple, two identical panels that will be seamed to create the neck opening where you then attach a luxurious ribbed collar! Due to it’s simple construction, the Aria Poncho is also easily customizable. Would you like it longer? Just add more rows. Maybe a Shorter collar? You can so that too!
