This poncho, like its anime namesake, is a visual spectacle. With alternating sections of stockinette and garter stripes separated by i cord ridges, there’s plenty of room for color play here. Featuring an asymmetric design based on the ghoulish fighting organ known as a kagune in the show, you can play with how it sits to mirror your own style. Ghoul or human, you have to admit this shawl would make either look pretty stylish.

• Pattern includes a schematic with measurements.
