So you’re either on team poncho, or you’re on TEAM PONCHO!
When are two simple rectangles not super simple? When they combine chunky cables and dropped stitches for an EPIC accessory.
It’s a very easy pattern repeat for both body panels and then a few quick rib rows for the chunky turtleneck.

The name? OK, because we’re friends I’ll tell you that when I first modeled the prototype for my hubby he said “Who are you, Dirty Harry?” so… go ahead and MAKE MY DAY by making this poncho! I’ve gotta tell you, I’ve been living in this prototype. PJs + poncho? Yes! Grocery shopping + poncho? Yes! Date night + poncho? Also YES! It’s just so rad. And, I’ve gotten a compliment every single time I’ve worn this out. (Not in my PJs, does instagram count?)
