This quick and easy poncho - with its mesmerizing currents of ocean colors and a collar that flows like sea foam - reflects the Nova Scotia birthplace of the Fleece Artist yarns that inspired it. Imagine it in other colorscapes - autumn colors, mossy greens, or opalescent abalone shells.

The collar may be worked in the same colorway as the body of the poncho (there will be enough yarn) if you like. Although this white collar appears lacy and intricate, it is ordinary stockinette, transformed into a magical mesh of bubbles by the exuberant loops of soft bouclé yarn.

Knit from neck down on circular needles. Optional: collar in contrast color yarn, 40 meters.
