This simply designed poncho features a draped cowl neck, simple shaping, and contrasting yarn weights that create a beautiful rippled fabric. I drape my girls in these ponchos on chilly fall days when the crisp air bites at their shoulders. This is a wonderful project for a beginning knitter and a quick one to whip up for someone more experienced.
