PATTERN NOTES
Poncho is worked flat back and forth in rows in 2 panels. The panels are then turned sideways and seamed together along shoulder edge. Stiches along the neckline are then picked up and worked in the round for collar.
The 2 cable patterns are worked simultaneously across the rows. It may be helpful to use differently coloured markers to differentiate the sections of small cables and large cables.
