This mini poncho, designed by Kath Andrews, features a spectacular two-colour brioche stitch leaf pattern. It’s worked top down, with a lower garter stitch border; stitches are picked up to work the brioche collar after the cowl has been blocked.

Kath’s design is knitted in UK Alpaca’s 4-Ply Sock Yarn, a blend of superfine British alpaca and nylon which comes in solid and hand-dyed shades.
