ABOUT THE DESIGN
The poncho is worked top down in the round. The yoke is worked according to the chart incorporating the yoke shaping. Short row shaping is used to raise the back and the traditional triangular poncho shaping is achieved by increasing at centre back and centre front. The poncho is finished by adding the cuff ribbing and a turtleneck collar.
