There is nothing like a poncho for easy warmth as the seasons change.

Your toddler doesn’t want to get out of pyjamas on a cold morning? Poncho!

Driving in the car and don’t want to wear a jacket? Poncho!

Sitting outside waiting for the first stars to appear? Poncho!

Wind picking up at the beach on an autumn day? Poncho!

Scrambling up rocks at the local garden? Poncho!

I’m sure you will find many reasons you or a family member (or three) need this poncho. Which is just as well because there is little more pleasurable than a fast, easily memorized, and deliciously squishy knitting project - all things this pattern is.

Slipped stitches break up the garter stitch and any wildly variegated or speckled yarns you’ve been hoarding. Top down, simple construction allows you to carry on with the newest episode of whatever you are currently binge watching.
