Bluebell is a gorgeous Spring poncho, with a touch of elegant lace and simple color work, but enough weight to keep you warm on those cool Spring and early Summer mornings. The colors reminded me of the gorgeous Spring bluebell, which is where the poncho got its name, of course. :) It knits up surprisingly fast in one piece, with minimal shaping. The hole for the head is created by a simple bind off and cast on method, and the color work is repetitive and easy to follow. Enjoy!
