Bjork means Birch tree in Icelandic, and this design pays homage to one of my favorite trees, and one of my favorite artists. This poncho features four original color work motifs inspired by traditional Nordic stranded color knitting, and can be worn down as a poncho or up around the neck as an extremely warm and cozy cowl.
