“Good vibrations. This hip ‘60’s-style poncho is made by knitting two triangles with a simple stripe pattern, then sewing them together to make the colorful V-shaping and cool corner in the front and back. A garter-stitch neckline and funky fringe finish the look. The tapestry wool it’s knit in comes in doll-sized skeins and a rainbow of retro colors.”
