The Transitions Poncho

Summer is winding down in my neck of the woods which means the days are getting shorter and the weather is getting colder. What better transitional piece for this time of year than a poncho?
This poncho is super simple to make. It is one large rectangle that is sewn together along the shoulder. The striking combination of solid and lacy stitches make this piece warm but not stifling. It pairs beautifully with your favourite outfit while adding a cozy fall vibe.
