Cables, buttons and a high neckline combine to create a classy and chic poncho that will be perfect for an early morning walk. The design also knits up with an asymmetrical look, which adds an edge to this already stunning top.

The poncho is a simple rectangle worked seamlessly in one piece from the front bottom and up to the neck opening, where the stitches for the neck are placed on a stitch holder.
The work is then divided into two parts, one for each shoulder, worked separately for the neck opening.
The rectangle is then joined in one piece again and worked to the back bottom.
Working the poncho in one piece is handy also to avoid having to join different sides of the cable, with the risk of not aligning it correctly.
Bottom borders are worked in a 3/3 rib that flows into the cable. The side borders are worked together with the body in garter stitch, with optional buttonholes along the front side.
Finally, stitches are picked up from the neck opening to work a cowl neck in 3/3 rib.
The only finishing required is weaving in ends and sewing on the buttons.
