A super simple sideways knitted poncho worked in this amazing mock fair-isle yarn that does all the work for you. A really easy design to knit with rows of stocking stitch interspersed with garter stitch.

The cowl is worked in a 6 row pattern using a form of elongated bramble stitch, giving great texture. Full written instructions given.
