Ponchos have been popular for a few years now, so we’re not surprised to see this gorgeous cape taking centre stage in the Accidental Icon collection from Paintbox Yarns. Capes are versatile garments, and this one is fun to knit and practical to wear, ideal as a transition garment between seasons, or for extra layering! The colourwork in this gorgeous cape is created using slipped stitches - if you haven’t tried this technique before, you’re going to love it!
