Shadows, a two color poncho knitted top down with a slightly rolled neckline and easy raglan increases. A simple stranded method and with the yarn I used at least, seems to create shadowed blocks in varying sizes throughout the middle and a slide slit makes for a comfortable wear. The seed stitch border finishes up the project.

The pattern is written, charted and has a how to video clip.

For three sizes: S/M/L.
