Pattern description from Wrap Style: “Dubbed ‘The Cable Queen’ by her friends, Kathy Zimmerman delights in adding personality to traditional texture motifs: working cables within cables, staggering configurations, and adding contrasting textures. Kathy has worked this poncho from side to side (leaving a slit for the neck opening along the way) so that the cables flow up one arm, across the body, then down the other arm. Did we mention that she used the ultimate luxury yarn? - pure cashmere!”
