Zigzag Poncho/Skirt
Pattern description from Handknit Holidays: “This versatile piece had its beginnings as a poncho - until the model wearing it pulled it down over her hips. At that moment, it was transformed into a playful skirt. When worn as a poncho, the ribbed neck can be left flat or folded over - even pulled down over the shoulders. The east-to-master zigzag pattern - a more feminine take on stripes - works up quickly and creates a self-scalloping edge. For fun, knit a complementary sweater for Fido.”
