When the seasons transition from winter to spring or summer to fall, it can be difficult to know how to prepare your wardrobe for the day. Perfectly cozy but very light, this poncho is perfect to carry along and put on when the weather is changing from minute to minute.

Constructed in the round from the bottom up, the cables make the knitting fun. The edges are left unconstructed for a light and easy garment.

This poncho is worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up. All decreases are worked in the space between the cable panels, so the stitch pattern in uninterrupted.
