Fairly easy pattern for an elegant poncho! It is made in 2 pieces (front & back) and then the shoulder seams are sewed together. I used Caron Marble Cakes in the picture which is a medium weight yarn BUT you can use any type of yarn you like. This pattern is so easy to make smaller or larger that it can be made for ALL sizes and lengths! I rated the pattern for an advanced beginner due to the dropped stitch row. There is 1 row in this pattern where you will have a lot of stitches on your needle and it takes time & patience with the dropped stitch. Other than that it is an easy & basic written knitting pattern!
