Just pull this abbreviated poncho over your head to experience instant soft warmth, cabled and studded with moss-stitch in our most luxurious baby alpaca yarn. It is called a ‘Cho because it really isn’t quite a poncho.

It just has aspirations.

Wear it under or over a coat, cosy and chic.

Buttoned (worked backwards and forwards on long circular needles) or un-buttoned (worked in the round on long circular needles)

Enjoy
