Sparks Avenue Poncho
Ponchos are so easy to make and even easier to wear!
This little piece has carried me through many cool evenings on the Cape and Nantucket. It looks fabulous with a pair of jeans or dress it up with a long skirt or dress. I wear it with everything! It travels and packs well too!
Years ago I first knit this up in a cotton blend for summer. The pattern is very versatile.
A little piece of trivia: there once was a yarn shop on Nantucket called Sheep to Shore. Their address was on Sparks Ave…across from the fire station….Now the yarn shop on Nantucket is called Flock…on ORANGE Street. hmmm
NOTE: I’m not entirely sure why Arroyo is listed as a sport weight…but it is. It actually knits up more like a DK or light worsted.
