Anniken Allis has created this dreamily pretty poncho, which has a matching vest top available. The poncho has a lace pattern and an asymmetric shape, with one side shallower than the other. It has been knitted in Artesano’s pure alpaca DK yarn; at the time of writing, it was unclear whether this yarn would still be available, so we have suggested an alternative baby alpaca yarn.
