The Sidestep Poncho is knit in lighter natural blends of Silk and Cotton or Cotton and Linen for warmer weather.
Made with a diagonal pattern in one piece to the neck, it’s then divided and worked for the entire length of the neck circumference to be joined at the division. Short rows are added to create a better fit around the neck opening.
