A great new twist on an old classic - the Poncho. The Montana Poncho features a slit side to make it functional and keep your arms accessible. That was something I always wanted to remain true to my designs: function AND fashion. Perfect for a cup of coffee on the porch on a brisk morning or carrying my bag to market.

The turtleneck has textured crochet ribbing to give you all the cozy feels. It works up easy and is perfect for markets and errands and I even wear it around the house as a sort of blanket shirt.

This poncho is worked from the top down.
First, the collar is crocheted sideways and seamed. The body of the poncho is worked down from the side of the collar.
