Brighten up your winter days while wearing this rich red-colored poncho!

This poncho was originally published in West Yorkshire Spinners - Crochet Winter Warmers pamphlet distributed with Crochet Now Issue 10.

Worked in the round with simple stitches, it is quick and easy to make. The textured diamond pattern at the front adds a fun challenge to the stitch pattern and creates visual and textural interest to the finished piece.
